Indiana has graphic signs for its riverboat casinos. It doesn't identify the casino by name, but rather by the town in which its located.

IN 1 intersects US 50 at the ramp to I-275.



A short access ramp provides the connection between US 50 and I-275. Note the use of states as destinations since this is the only exit for I-275 in Indiana.

And, of course, it goes without saying that these signs are button copy.


Small-text button copy sign.







A look at the I-275 and I-74 interchange and associated signage.


This sign is located before eastbound I-74 traffic merges into the inner loop of I-275. Note that the exit number is based on I-74 mileage but the milepost is still for I-275. The OH 128 exit is the only one on the shared stretch of I-74 and I-275.




Approaching the split of I-275 from I-74 and US 52.

Old faded button copy sign.

Check out the I-275 shield.





US 27 has a short run with I-74.



Ohio has installed ramp meters at two exits along I-74. They are not yet operational.



This signage indicates that US 52 joins I-75 for a short distance, while US 27, which joins I-74 in the vicinity of the "End I-74 sign" in the background, continues onto Central Parkway, and US 52 joins later.

I-74 comes to the eastern end of its Iowa-to-Ohio run.

Huge newer diagrammatic sign for the end of I-74 and the various movements for I-75, US 27, US 52 and US 127.

I-75 south seems to the through movement at this exit.


Tight turns at the end of I-74.

An older, square US 127 sign heading south on Central Parkway.

Older I-75 shield and arrow.

The trifecta of US routes, 27-52-127, join US 42 on the outer fringes of Cincinnati's downtown area.

Either they meant to put an "East" banner above the US 52 sign, or put the US 52 sign in place of US 27, US 42 (most likely) or US 127. The font is of a style not ususally seen on route markers either.

Approaching US 22.

Overhead signage marks clearly what lane drivers need to be in for what routes.

Stay in the correct lane and follow the signs and you'll have no trouble following the US routes in this part of Cincinnati.

Signage for the four US routes that share this street, Central Avenue.

US 42 and US 127 split from US 27 and US 52.

US 42 and US 127 prepare to turn onto the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge and pick up the truncated US 25.


Entering the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge heading south.

Entering Kentucky. The shield shape is a dead giveaway that these signs were installed by Kentucky.


It's not marked here, but this intersection is KY 8.

Here's a KY 8 sign.

And another.



Overhead on the C/D lane for the entrance to I-75 from KY 8, and the exit to Pike Street and 12th Street.

On KY 842, Houston Road, at the ramp to I-75 south at what is technically the Turfway Road exit.


On the ramp from Turfway Road to I-75 south.

New Clearview mileage sign.

Another new Clearview sign.

More Clearview. This is near Dry Ridge.

This sign probably will be replaced when the widening project in this area is complete. It's notable for the circular KY 330 shield instead of an oval-shaped/ellipsis shield.

This is the standard three-digit shield on Kentucky exit signs. This sign, too, will probably be replaced when the widening project is done.

Between Corinth and Sadieville, looking south on I-75. The northbound side has all three lanes completed, only the left and center lanes are in use on the southbound dise.
