First eastbound, with a thick arrow complementing the narrow 141 shield; the 3di shields are bubbles (expanded 2di shields). Then on the northbound onramp, where the sign presents so many problems that I'll just spell out the actual situation: This is the onramp to DE 141 North, which leads to Fairfax. It also leads to DE 41 North, which runs toward Hockessin. The sign should be twice as big to hold all this information, but it's converted from before the birth of DE 141, when the freeway was DE 41 alone (thanks to Alex Nitzman for that info).


DE 62 EB at DE 4, where it does not end, but rather continues to a lonely end at Dupont Road. Dupont Road to the north, starting at DE 4 (not coincidentally, since there's no surface route closer to the water), is DE 100, but I don't believe 100 ever extended south to meet DE 62 (even before this became 62, which is when 141 was constructed). Another fun fact, based on the last two photos: DE 62 and DE 41 both approach DE 2 on Newport Gap Pike, and both end within 1/4 mile of the DE 2 intersection without even meeting each other, let alone ending at each other. DE 41 has a useless multiplex with 2 over to 141, and ends at that interchange, while DE 62 ends at the OLD DE 2 (even though to the best of my knowledge, the new one was already open and probably had been for some time), Old Capitol Trail.


Jackson St. serves I-95 faithfully as its southbond frontage road through Wilmington, but all good things must come to an end. As it always has done, Jackson ends at Maryland Ave., while I-95 crosses the railroad tracks on its way to Miami. Guess what? Maryland Ave. happens to be DE 4, which ironically never makes it into Maryland at all (it did when it followed Chestnut Hill Road all the way), and this sign is located there! As a bonus factoid, the shield atop this page is at the same intersection.
