Business US 322 (the old road) EB entering State College.

Here's how it looks in 2009 now that I-99 is open, with I-99 patched onto the sign with a green background.

EB and WB button copy on the short freeway east of State College.

US 22/322 westbound from Harrisburg before the fog has had a chance to burn off. Between clouds there was some breathtaking scenery and spectacular rock cuts.

How not to sign a multiplex, and I don't just mean the US 322 shield. The milemarkers on US 22/322 reflect US 22's mileage, which you'll only discover after the routes split. There's no point in misleading US 322 travelers by even having their mileposts at all.

WB/NB photos from the US 322/202 Downingtown Bypass (every short freeway in PA is a Bypass), starting from the surface alignment where the routes exit themselves. The blank space on the Paoli Pike signage is there because US 202 used the Pike while this freeway was only US 322. The arrows were removed because now US 322 is a right exit from US 202, so even though they were meant as through arrows for this interchange, it would ultimately be misleading.

EB/SB along the same multiplex. The last sign is for US 322 Business EB. Here I believe the US 322/202 EB/SB ramp to PA 3 WB was wiped out - that or it was meant to exist but never made it.

Business US 322 WB west of West Chester (a lot of wests, yes) at PA 162.

EB on Business US 322 where the Downingtown Bypass ends.

WB on the short US 322 expressway, between the Commodore Barry Bridge to NJ and I-95. The signage has the wrong background green, terribly non-reflective lettering, and not quite the right font. It's DRPA [Delaware River Port Authority], like one associated with NJ 90.

The I-95 NB and SB ramps merge together, and oh, the NB ramp is also US 322 EB. But shhh, don't tell them what's missing here. If it's not a merge sign, maybe it's a create-your-own-traffic-hazard!

Eastbound exiting PA, with the same button-copy seen on routes such as US 30's Ben Franklin Bridge. From enough of a distance, the truss looks beautiful instead of utilitarian.

Into the truss. As with other Delaware River crossings under DRPA control, the light bar across the roadway originally had holes for six pairs of lights instead of the five now there, indicating a design for narrower lanes.
