Low light conditions and a moving vehicle resulted in this crappy photo -- but it is of a three-digit interstate shield for I-74 just past the Batesville rest area.
US 421 joins I-74 and the two routes run concurrently to Indianapolis.
These signs are located on Post Road, just outside Indianapolis.
Diagrammatical overhead for I-74's interchange with I-465.
More overheads approaching the exit, which can be seen under the bridge in the background.
Overheads for I-465 and I-74.
Overheads on the C-D ramp as traffic from I-74 transitions to the outer loop of I-465.
Overheads for US 40 and I-70. Note that here the control city for I-70 east is Dayton; downtown it's Columbus.

More overheads for I-70 east and west.
At the exit to I-70 east.
Overheads for US 36 and IN 67.
Many bridges along the northeastern portion of I-465 have this mark. The bridges that have been rebuilt along I-65 near Jeffersonville and Clarksville also have this mark on them.
Overhead for I-69 and IN 37.
Exit sign for IN 431.
IN 431 connects I-465 to US 31 in the Carmel area.

Well north of I-465 is the first mileage sign on US 31, showing distances to Kokomo and South Bend.
Well north of the metropolitan and urban area, the crossroads still bear the designation of "street" even though they are country roads.
This is the last numbered street that crosses US 31.
IN 28 and US 31.
This old church was a neat find.
In the Kokomo area, US 31 has these mileage markers usually seen in larger towns.

Overheads at US 31 and IN 218.
I wish this photo would have come out better. The text above the numbers says "Business" and this is a sign error. The surface signage for US 31 Business here is all correct.
Approaching US 24.
The US 24 interchange is a full cloverleaf.
Interesting arrow. Instead of a diagonal arrow, it's a "straight and diagonal."
Out-of-focus shot of the intersection of IN 16 and US 31. Apparently this has been the site of fatal accidents.
At Rochester, traffic for IN 14 is detoured onto IN 25 due to the construction of a grade-separated interchange.
Button copy sign for IN 25.
At the off-ramp from US 31 north to IN 25 are these signs.
Button copy on IN 25 approaching US 31.

Overheads for US 20's departure from the bypass and approaching the Indiana Tol Road.
Overheads for I-80/90 and Nimitz Parkway.
Most of the US 20/31 bypass has been divided by a Jersey barrier. Here the median widens out just before reaching the toll road.
Overhead for the ramp to the Toll Road.
The exit gore sign is a little different than most. It doesn't say "exit."

A shot of downtown South Bend.
A divided underpass.
Check out this old US 31 sign. You can tell that the US 31 marker, the "South" banner and the arrow are older and non-reflective by the yellowed appearance in contrast to the bright whites of the other signs.
A very old US 31 sign with an unusual shield shape and an old-timey font.
Older overhead for US 31.
This is another older overhead; it was seen in the distance in the previous photo.

IN 32 crosses US 421.
Indiana makes liberal use of these unmarked lanes. When there is no traffic turning left, through traffic uses the one that the white van is in. When traffic is turning left out of this lane, through traffic uses the right lane. This practice seems to be pretty common in Indiana.
Construction advisory sign for I-465 as US 421 approaches the Indy beltway. Note the use of "Northwest" instead of "North" or "West."
Oversized sign for IN 334.
