South Interstate 95 North Carolina / South
US 301 Cutout; Lumberton. Photo taken by Michael Summa, 1976.
This night time shot was taken just south of the NC 211 Interchange.
It includes an original I-95 NC shield and a US 301 Cutout that was standard
for the state during that era. The few older overhead signs and BGS's
that remain today in North Carolina use the same US Shield on them. |

Black on White Distance Signs US 301 at SR
1421 (Upchurch Road); Elm City. These White Signs of Carolina were
very commonplace at crossroads. Many are still posted today; however,
in some parts of the state, these signs unique to North Carolina are nowhere
to be found. |

A whole complex of shields including US 401/
NC 87/ US 301/ NC 210/ NC 24/ and TO I-95 NC; Fayetteville. Photo
taken by Michael Summa, 1976. Until 1982, I-95 was incomplete from
Exit 56 to Exit 38. Traffic was routed onto US 301 (Today's Business
95). The route was not shielded as 'TEMPORARY' like I-85 between
Lexington and High Point. Rather 'TO' shields existed to route motorists
back onto the Interstate. In the late 1990's NC 87 was rerouted onto
a Freeway link from I-95 to Bragg Boulevard. NC 24/210 still remains. |
Hillsborough
St. (NC 54) at the Raleigh Beltline (US 1). Photo taken by Warren
Calloway, 1964. Photo contributed by Craig Zeni. This photo
was taken from the Beltline overpass of Hillsborough St. and dual railroad
tracks. This is looking towards the NC State Fairgrounds. In
the upper right hand corner of the photo, there is a US 1 and cutout NC
54 shield.
