A South Carolina-style sign in North Carolina. It's fading and needs replacement. North Carolina signs are not square nor they are extruded or have attached exit tabs.

SCDOT has (I think) just finished a sign replacement project along all of York County I-77 that IMO was a bit half-assed.  They did do a few good things like move several ground mounted signs to new cantilever gantries, but they missed some signs.  I believe the one you described should most definitely have been replaced, as well as the first assembly on Carowinds Blvd. as you're leaving the amusement park (the second assembly was replaced).

Anyway, there are lots of signs in KY and WV along I-64 for upcoming exits in the adjacent state.  Most of the regular guide signs are the handiwork of the state they are in, except for the blue service logo signs, which are the handiwork of the other state.

So, I wonder if NCDOT will replace that fading sign instead!

Why would NCDOT spend money to replace something that isn't theirs to begin with? Looks like an SCDOT style gantry too.

I'm pretty sure this is NJDOT, on 287 north in Mahwah approaching the NY border. It still references the Tappan Zee Br: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dG5eTATUK8PhhRha6
Not every speed limit in NY needs to be 30

That's actually a NYSDOT or NYSTA sign, though still in NJ.  It probably dates back to when I-287 was finished.

Somewhat off topic, but the electronic sign at the entrance to the WV Turnpike, as least as of Sunday, had the grossly overbroad statement "Travel to North Carolina and Tennessee not recommended". 

The vast majority of NC bound traffic would either remain on 77, which is open, or take "74" (US 52) and head east.  The current preferred alternate to I-40 is the normal way traffic at that point would go to Tennessee, which is I-81 to its junction with 40 near Knoxville.

Something like "I-40 closed west of Asheville" would be better.
