 'Junction'
PA Turnpike 43 Toll Road guide sign; Elco. A rare Junction guide
sign in Pennsylvania, this sign has been around since the late 1980's.
The blank next to the PA Tpk 43 shield is either for a PA 88 shield (when
it once was routed on this part of the highway) or a PA Turnpike shield. |

sign for US 220 Alternate North on US 220 South/US 322 West; Martha Furnace.
When US 220 was moved to join US 322 and Future I-99 via State College.
The original route became Alternate US 220. Instead of installing
new quide signs, PennDot used an 'ALT' tab to go over the US 220 shields
on guide signs in the area. |
April 30, 2005 |
| Overheads
for US 220 South/US 322 West and Alt US 220 North; Martha Furnace.

US 119 BGS (Exit 2) on PA Tpk 43 South; Springhill. This is the
last exit on PA Turnpike 43 South before West Virginia. Currently,
all traffic must exit here as WV 43 is not completed. |
June 9, 2002 |

Button Copy US 30 West Everett (Exit 149) BGS on I-70 West; South Breezewood.
An example of when the exit number conversion was implemented of how the
state decided to just 'slap on' new exit numbers instead of replacing the
entire sign. |
July 10, 2002 |
| Overheads
for US 30 East/PA Tpk Breezewood (Exit 147) and US 30 West Everett (Exit
147) on I-70 West; Breezewood. This style of signage is quickly
being replaced in Pennsylvania. The dark green background, button
copy text, and route shield with a black outline. This design is
my personal favorite. |
