FAQs - Destination Signs on Interstate and Freeway Highways
How do you decide which cities are shown on the Destination Signs?
At interchanges with marked primary interstate routes, the county seat community in each direction is shown on the destination sign unless there is an intermediate incorporated community of 1,000 or more population on the route between the interchange and the county seat. In this case, the intermediated incorporated community is shown. If a county seat or an incorporated community of 1,000 or more population does not exist on the route, other incorporated communities of lesser population may be shown. In all cases, the community must be on or within 1 mile of the intersected route.
At interchanges with county routes or unmarked primary routes, the first incorporated community directly served by or within 1 mile of the route is shown for each direction.
If more that 2 communities qualify, the closest, regardless of size, is shown.
