More photos from the PA 60 to I-376 conversion

On the heels of the photos that Jason Reighard sent me, Ed Szuba and his wife were out and about recently, and took a few more photos from the PA 60 to Interstate 376 conversion. These photos have some personal interest to me as I spent three and a half years in the area from 1996-99 attending Robert Morris College (now University).

These signs at Exit 57 are the signs near Robinson Town Center - leave the area for ten years and you can forget these things. I-376 and Business Loop 376 shields have now replaced PA 60 shields. Will PA Turnpike 576 ever become Interstate 576? Who knows.

Next up signs around the airport itself.

And some signs approaching the western end of Business Loop 376:

Further up the road now...I-376 mile markers appear.

And finally...when I was at RMC these signs were all text in button copy and had sequential numbering...now they are in Clearview and mileage based numbers for I-376. What a difference 11 years makes, eh?

Thanks again to Ed and Shari for the photos and Jason Reighard for his in the earlier post.

I was through here eastbound last weekend. Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission still hadn't done anything to update the signage on their part of the road and some of the overheads eastbound still needed updating.

At the PA 18 interchange, PennDOT finally replaced the ancient button copy signs where traffic from I-376 east splits towards PA 18 north or south. The old signs were button copy with the route number spelled out (no shield). New ones have Clearview.

Petroleum Club Road (former California State Route 33 and US Route 399 past the Lakeview Gusher)

Petroleum Club Road is an approximately 5.3-mile rural highway located in the Sunset Oil Field of western Kern County. This corridor was constructed as a frontage road of the Sunset Railroad and would be the site of the Lakeview Gusher in 1910. Petroleum Club Road was the original alignment of California State Route 33 and US Route 399 between 1934-1938. In 1938 the West Side Highway was constructed west of Lakeview Gusher and still serves as the current alignment of California State Route 33. Part 1; the history of Petroleum Club Road Petroleum Club Road is the original highway which linked the oil communities of Maricopa and Taft. Both cities were developed around the early boom of the Sunset Oil Field. The early Sunset Oil Field can be seen centered along Cienega Canyon Road southwest of Buena Vista Lake in Township 11 North, Range 23 West on the 1898 Kern County Surveyors map .

Did Caltrans just kill the G26 cutout US Route shields?

The US Route System was formally created by the American Association of State Highway Officials during November 1926. Through the history of the system the only state to which has elected to maintain cutout US Route shields has been California. The G26 series cutout US Route shields have become a favorite in the road enthusiast hobby and are generally considered to be much more visually pleasing than the standard Federal Highway Administration variant. However, the G26 shield series appears to have been killed off on January 18, 2026, when Caltrans updated their Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This blog will examine the history of the US Route shield specifications in California and what is happening with the 2026 changes. The blog cover photo is facing towards the terminus of California State Route 136 and at a G26-2 specification US Route 395 shield. In the background Mount Whitney can be seen in the Sierra Nevada range. ...
