Arkansas Gets Neutered

[US71]

Just got back from a trip to the Little Rock area for the weekend.  Looks like AHTD is beginning to shift to "neutered" Interstate shields.  I noticed several near I-30 in Benton and Bryant and a least 2 along I-40 near Clarksville (including one neutered/named combo).

A couple years ago, Arkansas had started using the "retro" Interstate shields with the smaller numbers. Now it appears they are changing again.

Your highway dollars at work.

It's only because I'm forgetful that I'm saying this...I could've sworn that all of the new I-530 signage (esp. the smaller shields in Pine Bluff) were already neutered when they were 1st installed.

Not to my knowledge, but now I'll have to go look.

I have photos showing the shields around Pine Bluff having the state name...at least as of June 2008.

I saw some pics of the Pine Bluff signage on someone else's site while looking up I-69 info (I think it was AARoad's interstate link site... CRAP, I forgot...AGAIN UUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!  ).  They were not neutered.  My bad!
