Highway Sign

What It Means

A shield or shape marking a numbered state or U.S. highway route, distinct from the interstate shield — the design varies state to state.

How Rare Is It on Road Sign Hunt?

Common. You'll spot these on almost any drive.

Spotting Tip

You'll pass these constantly on any highway or state road — a good one to check off in the first few minutes of driving.

Fun Fact

Unlike interstate shields, which are federally standardized nationwide, state highway route markers are designed by each individual state — Texas uses a circle, Ohio's is shaped like the outline of the state itself, and dozens of other unique shapes exist across the country.
