2
photos here from the south side of Waldron, AR. The first shows the approaching junction of US 71B and a trailblazer for AR 250. In the second photo, 250 becomes the highway and 71B the trailblazer. |

2 County Road markers along US 412
west of Tontitown. A simple “right turn” and “up” arrow plate would suffice here.... |
) |
Guide sign for
AR 391 a few miles east of Little Rock along the IH 40. In the last few years, AHTD had been replacing old worn guide signs. Yet, this almost looks like an older sign with the smaller numbers inside a 2d AR shield. |

Square County Road
marker for Carroll County 306 along US 62 east of Berryville. |
) |
US 59 / 71 just east of Mena at
AR 88. 88 runs along 59/71 for several miles |
) |
Shrinky-dink US
380 sign in Roswell, NM... (maybe it was left in the wash too long?) |
) |
Old bridge along
old US 75 south of Bixby. Can YOU get enough of these? I know *I* cant :) |
) |
A “4-Way
Stop Ahead” along County Rd 27 near Farmington, AR |
) |
Rogers AR along
Business 71 August 2002
Yes, technically, you
ARE going west but 71B should be signed as NORTH! |
) |
4way Stop at the
junction of US 59 and US 271 near Poteau, OK. An oversized STOP sign, oversized (Series D) font, and orange flags... you think they're trying to get people's attention? ;) naaah. |
) |
Taken at the junction of I-540,
Spur AR 112 and AR 16 in west Fayetteville. |
) |
Intersection of OK 16 and Alternate
US 75 just of Bixby. |
) |
Perfectly good
photo of a perfectly good sign... in the perfectly wrong location. This should
be west US 270, just west of the IH 530 near Pine Bluff. |
) |
Phaze
II of “Lumpy Gravy” At the IH 530 Pine Bluff, AR: That should be To *US* 65B and West *US* 270. East 270 should be AR 365S |
) |
Guide sign for
Bypass US 271 and US 70 just south of Hugo, OK. Technically, it IS a bypass, but it's actually marked as “mainline” 271/70. I dig the “TO Turn Pike” panel and the baby arrow. |
) |
County Road 26
at I-540 just west of Greenland, AR. AHTD doesn't normally sign county roads along the interstates. A few months after this photo was taken, the county road sign was removed. Lousy Bums :P |
) |
An old black/yellow
stop sign outside an antique shop at Lake Village, AR. I asked about buying it, but was told it wasn't for sale. 6 months later, it was gone... they had sold it! Lousy Bums :P I saw a covered-over specimen in Somerset, PA: Less the buttons, sadly. |

Taken along Old
Highway 71 near Saginaw, MO. You rarely see any “Begin” Speed Limit signs anymore. This is also a stamped steel sign. The curve sign it's bolted on is newer.... |
) |
Taken along “Scenic”
OK 10 just south of Kansas, OK. This is the only road I've seen “Scenic” signs on except for Alt US 412 |
) |
An old gantry along the IH 435 near
Kansas City. |
) |
Older 2-digit style
sign blank for a 3-digit Arkansas State Highway number east of Garfield near Lost Bridge Park. This photo was taken in 2000. The sign was replaced in 2002. |
) |
Older style street
sign at the corner of Main and Logan in Republic, MO. Most of the signs in town are the newer white on green reflective signs, but there are a few of these black/white signs left in the older section of town. (the large snap gives two views of the sign) |
) |
Tulsa,
OK, approaching the Broken Arrow Expressway looking south. two junction assemblies for US 64 and OK 51. A block south of the top photo, there are older shields for US 64.and OK 51. If you look really closely, you can see these signs are more weathered-including rust stains from the sign bolts |

An old sign for
Signals Ahead along old Hwy 66 in downtown Miami, OK |
) |
Taken
along US 278 NW of Nashville, AR
Note the narrow font and off-center numbers
in the first photo. A normal looking US 278 sign taken a couple miles west of the first one. |

This looks like
a fairly old sign, but I can't be sure. (The Australian cousin to this fella can be found on my NSW signs page) Taken along Greenwood Ave just north of Vermont St in Blue Island, IL |
) |
Another old sign,
again along Greenwood Ave in Blue Island, IL
Note the legend across the bottom: “Chicago Motor Club” |
) |
Looking
south on the IH 540 feeder road at JN 62. (Cool how the junction and US Highway match, eh?) US 62 leaves the IH 540 at this point. “Reappears”, rather: Since there are no US 62 signs on the IH 540 mainline; even though it follows the IH 540 between JNS 62 and 86(24 miles). |
) |
THEY
are everywhere. Here's one of those darng Space Aliems trying to pass as a retro streetlight in Roswell, NM in 2000. Good thing Agent Backlin was paying attention and caught the bugger with his eyes open: exposing yet another facet of the vast Space Aliem/Marsupial Conspiracy. |
) |
A
double good double deal here, near Roswell, NM A double bend with a railway crossing in the middle. I dig the sign, it makes the situation rather clear- why it wasn't posted on the flashing beacon mast evades me, tho. |
) |
About
15 miles west of the Texas-New Mexico line on the IH 40 here. Gotta dig that “Historic 66” sine. It puts me in mind of the classic Phillps 66 logo. |
