Old railroad overpass on the Québec City Autoroute 540, looking east before Chemin Sainte-Foy. There's no Autoroute 940, so why duplicate Montréal's numbering? (Same goes for the two A-440s, when there's 840 open.) The point's now moot because the western 540 became part of A-30.

Ugly new shields in Val-Bélair, which just became part of Québec City in 2002 and thus needed to replace whatever was old and good to celebrate.

Two signs from my personal collection, including the original black on white shield in wood. This one was apparently never mounted, as there were no holes (note strategically placed support nail at the bottom), and is coated with a rudimentary reflective paint, so it must have been created fairly close to when Québec switched to the white on green shields (a couple of years before the renumbering that led to the current 3-digit system). Route 13 was one of the long ones, starting north of Richford, VT as what is now QC 139 and crossing the St. Lawrence as what is now QC 155 (and Autoroute 55).
