| TO NC 58 BGS; I-95 Exit 132. The reason why this sign has an NC 58 shield and the 'NC' spelled out is because of US 58 being about 70 miles to the north in Virginia. This is donw not to confuse motorists with the two routes. | JP Nasiatka; September 2001 |

| Erroneous
West US 40 detour shield on NC 147 North; Durham. The orange

40 and not US 40 you have the error. |

Mike Roberson; April 13, 2007 |

| North I-95/ East NC 55/ South US 421 shields; Dunn. Although it would appear that I-95 and NC 55 are multiplexed in Dunn. That is not the case. NC 55 leaves US 421 onto its own route at the I-95 interchange. | Jimmy Storey; August, 2003 |

| US 19/23/25/70 shields; Weaverville. A four-way combination of highways without banners. It should read North 19/23/25 and West US 70. | Chris Curley; October 18, 2000 |
