QuoteFebruary 2, 2020. Since 02/02/2020 is a palindrome, post palindromic assemblies.

Western terminus of I-496 in Lansing, MI.  I'm pretty sure this has since been replaced with a less-impressive unisign.



Here's a BGS version of the same palindrome:

Some parts of the country are better for this than others (i.e., I'll be impressed by anything from west of the Mississippi).

US 221/US 321/US 421 in Boone, NC.

There are 3 three digit US shields in this photo but two are of the same number. Does this count? I've looked high and low through my collection of photos and videos and this is all I can find :-/

Yeah, I should've said "west of the Mississippi and outside of Texas".

QuoteFebruary 5, 2020. Route numbers not referenced with a shield.

Hopefully that wording is clear - here are some examples to demonstrate.

VA 42, Giles Co. Route 100 is 8 miles away.


VA 3/VA 198, Mathews Co. US 17 is 14 miles away.


I-581/US 220 referenced from US 460 in Roanoke, VA.

I-70 in Ohio has plenty of signs like this.



US 422 in New Castle, PA was like driving through a time warp with virtually every sign being pre-shield. Sadly they were replaced around ten years ago. I'm glad I took a bunch of photos when I did.
