Interstate Highway shields say "INTERSTATE" on them.
Why don't U.S. Route shields say "U.S." on them?

Grammatical confusion between "US" and "WE." They couldn't decide whether the objective case or the subjective case was appropriate.

The painter that usually does the contracting for the state DOTs injured his hands in a fight and retired to California, leaving the US department without a skilled painter to do it for them cheaper without machines.

Good answer:

Bad answer:
They got confused with North Dakota's original name -- Upper South Dakota.

That's why "interstate" is abbreviated with "I". This is an individualistic country, I will drive "I" routes as I please.

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"
