As part of the new construction on I-64 near Winchester and the reconstruction of Exit 94, new signs were installed. These new signs use the Clearview font. This photo shows the new overhead sign with Clearview and the old sign it replaced with the standard FHWA font.
Another comparison of the old font and the new Clearview font.

This sign was erected in error. The exit lane has not started yet and the yellow "exit only" panel has since been removed.
This sign at the end of the ramp at Exit 94 uses Clearview for everything except the route marker numbers.
Clearview-style numbers on this I-64 sign installed near Winchester. (Some have said this is not actually Clearview, but it looks different than the traditional font.)

This Detour I-75 sign with the state name is not a contractor's temporary sign. It's permanent signage installed by the state, using a font for the route numbers commonly used in the 1970s.
This sign also uses the retro-font.
This sign on northbound I-75 in Fayette County sports the new "Unbridled Spirit" Bluegrass Parkway sign.
This sign with the new BG Parkway marker had been updated the day this photo was taken.
Another new installation. This is the third Bluegrass Parkway sign to grace this overhead. When this overhead was installed as part of a sign replacement project around 2002, it sported the original "BG Parkway" sign. Later, the sign was replaced with the new sign when the route was named for former Gov. Martha Layne Collins. Now it has the "unbridled spirit" logo marker being used for all Kentucky parkways.
Yet another installation of the new logo sign.
This is eastbound on I-64 near Winchester, where the old Mountain Parkway sign was replaced. Look closely and you can see a dark circular spot at the top of the blue-and-white sign where the old "Bert T. Combs" banner was previously installed.
That dark spot is more visible in this photo.
The overhead at the beginning of the Mountain Parkway now sports the new "Unbridled Spirit" logo sign.
This sign greets motorists as they enter the Mountain Parkway. The green plate at the bottom of the sign covers the text "TOLL ROAD" that dates back to when the highway was tolled.
Westbound on I-64, there is no direct connection to the Mountain Parkway. Travelers wishing to make that connection must loop around at Exit 96A, KY 627 (formerly US 227) and re-enter I-64 going east for about a mile before getting on the Mountain Parkway. The dirty part where the old marker was installed can be seen in this photo.
This new sign on north I-75/west I-64 approaching the split in Lexington uses Clearview. Previously this sign was only for the Kentucky Horse Park.
On KY 52 west of Beattyville, a trailblazer for KY 11 has been installed. There is a low clearance on KY 52 as you enter Beattyville and the five miles of KY 52 between here and Beattyville are curvy and hilly. Most drivers now use KY 498 for 2.5 miles over to KY 11, which has been reconstructed and is a much better road.
This is the new Hal Rogers Parkway signage, at the end of new KY 30 in London.

This example is on KY 30 near Annville in Jackson County.
This one's a "twofer." You get both a new-style Kentucky Hal Rogers Parkway sign and a larger initial letter on a directional sign. This assembly is located on KY 15 at Lost Creek in Breathitt County.
