I can't believe this is my only such picture, and it's not very good, but of course Troy is the Home of Uncle Sam.  Taken on NY 2.  October 26, 2002.

This one should say "1 km" on the bottom (on the 417 in Ottawa, ON)


I should have a photo of this, but I don't. This sign should say "EAST" with a right arrow, but it doesn't.

Napoleon, OH -- missing the exit arrow -- these also have since been replaced.




Which way to WY-91?

I-93 south approaching NH 101 in New Hampshire by <name removed>, on Flickr

Sorry for the really bad quality. The left half of the sign qualifies. Exit 7, since it's blocked off a bit by the car.

"Seacoast" is not the name of a city or town, but it's still considered a control city.

I-93 and I-293, Manchester, NH by <name removed>, on Flickr

Three miles later, same road (I-93). Again, the left half of the sign qualifies. Unnumbered exit between Exit 6 and Exit 5. Ignore the GPS at the bottom.
