message: I went through the page and compiled this list of what the significance of the designs means in each state. The reason I did this is because I'm hoping someone will know what the significance of the New York shield is (I grew up in New York and have always been curious about it). Also, I've driven in Michigan, North Carolina, and Washington, and the designs of the shields in those states only leave room for relatively small numerals, making the signs hard to read.
===State Outlines===
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee
===Generic===
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Texas, West Virginia
===="Generic-ish"====
Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Vermont, Wyoming
===State Flag Elements===
Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, South Carolina
===Misc===
*California: Spade used by 49ers

*New Hampshire: The Old Man of the Mountain

message: Why is the District of Columbia's routes listed under "state highways"? DC is not a state. Shouldn't it be listed together with the territorial highways? --Zeruelx (talk) 08:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm having a problem adding the 183A Toll Road-based Texas U.S. Highway. I got the image and "Shown:" icon to work, but not the bold link to work. Is this because the link is a category? Your help would be greatly appreciated! QM400032 (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the graphic involved is fair use, I removed your addition here. Fair-use images can only be used in specific ways, and each article where they appear has to have a separate fair-use rationale to justify inclusion. Such a FUR is likely not possible for a list article; we don't permit copyright-protected photos of actors in their character roles on lists of characters, but we might on an individual article about that character.. The same concept is going to play out here in that this is a list of types of highways and the specific article would use the image under fair use. Imzadi 1979 →  23:34, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello. I have seen a chart of state highway signs from the 1940s online at . I don't know how to add those route markers to the article. They could be added under a "Historical route markers" section or something to that effect. Thanks for your help. Jay (talk) 19:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
