First photo on the page: Old narrow reassurance (before they made wide signs) near Youngstown. Photo immediately above: An old US 422 sign in Youngstown proper. Both are courtesy Bill Donovan. In the BGS, the arrow and control city were both moved out of the way for a much larger freeway-sized shield.


Another from Youngstown, courtesy John Krakoff, where US 422 exits the Madison Ave. Expressway and continues on MLK Boulevard. The rest of US 422 to the east through Youngstown became OH 289, so while yes, you can turn left and U-turn onto US 422 EB, the sign should indicate that the left turn is really mostly for 289.

The rest of the photos on this page are courtesy Doug Kerr.


I-271 SB and US 422 EB, first photo partially taken by Brian LeBlanc.


US 422 WB coming into Cleveland from the far eastern suburbs. The narrow I-271 shield looks like it replaced one of normal width, but long enough ago to still be button copy. The sign also looks like it's mounted just higher enough than the other sign to throw the alignment completely off between the two. In the last photo, I-480 is another mile or so ahead, but Miles Rd. is the only interruption on the otherwise unnumbered freeway before then.


Starting EB heading away from I-271; of course the last photo is at the bottom of the exit ramp.


Continuing EB, past the end of the US 422 freeway to another freeway, the OH 5/82 bypass of Warren. The one sign not shown close up in the last three photos, the one mounted on the overpass, is in fact not button copy, and you know I therefore have no interest in it.
