Furthest pt. on Interstate Hwy Sys your city's name appears (metro, cities)

[edsg25]

What would be the furthest point(s) from your city that your city's name appears on an interstate highway sign that directs you to it?

[KerrTown]

Houston

I-45: Downtown Dallas
I-10: West--Downtown San Antonio and East--Beaumont
I-69 not completed outside of Houston metro yet.

[FirebirdCamaro1220]

On I-10, eastern Tucson city limit to the east, and in Indio, California to the west

On I-17, entire length, so Flagstaff

[qworldorder]

Wilmington

I-295 South, around Exit 3

[jFug]

Erie, PA


I-79 headed north at the intersection of I-376, near Pittsburgh


I-90 headed east just after passing downtown Cleveland


I-271 headed north at the interchange with I-71, between Cleveland and Akron


I-90 headed west before the junction with I-190, east of Buffalo


I-86 headed west at Jamestown/Falconer NY

As an aside one of my biggest pet peeves is that in Ohio, highway signs display it as "Erie Pa" not "Erie PA". A small nitpick, but it irritates me.


Most signs in New York state just display it as "Erie" with no state following. Is it common anywhere else for control cities to have a state abbreviation as well?

To be more precise, a resident of Cove Fort could say that the farthest away that his city appears on an interstate sign is Baltimore. I'd say it's quite rare for such a tiny town to appear on a sign over 2,000 miles away! Unfortunately, Cove Fort does not reciprocate.


The farthest away that Baltimore appears on an interstate sign is on I-70 in Breezewood, PA, which is about 125 miles away. The entrance ramp to I-70 east is signed for Baltimore, and then shortly past that interchange is the first mileage sign that lists it.

Western end of I-40, going eastbound, Wilmington, NC 2,554 MI, sign:

Wilmington, NC 2,554 MI Sign

There was a reciprocal sign in Wilmington, NC at the eastern end of I-40 going westbound, but it keeps getting stolen and I think the NCDOT has given up replacing it every time. I can't seem to find it on Google Street View from Dec 2016.

Since these 2,554 miles signs are mostly "gimmicky", I think you meant the control cities on interstate signs.

If they really wanted to protect their sign, they could have taken a page from California's play book:

The reason Cove Is listed in Baltimore is because that's where I-70 ends.
