Backlight Special

Backlighted exit signs for Interstate 780 from Interstate 80 in Vallejo, California

The northern endpoint of one of the Bay Area's shorter freeways, Interstate 780, is at Interstate 80 in Vallejo. Even more unusual are the backlighted exit signs used at the exit from eastbound Interstate 80. Wait, there's more! The font for the 780 number in the Interstate shield is definitely not standard. That's more clearly seen from the close-up below, which also shows the panels from which the sign is composed.

These photos were taken in May 2009.
