Roadgeeks: Vermont state-named shields, please.
Also roadgeeks: "...not like that!"

To be fair, it's on the New Hampshire side of Route 9, and they also have forgotten how to place the state name.

It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

This is a picture I took of a Virginia named TO I-64 sign in Charlottesville from exactly a year ago:

I find it almost hilarious that they replaced the old interstate shields with an almost exact replica, right down to the specs! Either way I'm glad the state names remain.

This in PA is the first I've seen on a BGS.

I found a state named I-95 shield in Florida today. Just after the first exit in Florida in Yulee. Don't know of many examples on mainlines in Florida.

Not a great example, but I found this in East Terre Haute along Old National Road:



Looks like David Backlin (RIP) found it first

Found this pair of state-named I-275 shields in Tampa, FL, last month, at the interchange just north of the I-4 interchange:

I have now seen, in person, an example of a state-named Interstate shield in every state directly adjacent to Alabama (including Alabama itself, of course) except Tennessee. I've also seen state-named Interstate shields in Pennsylvania, Montana, California, South Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, IIRC.
