Sign
gantry featuring 0.375 mile advance exit sign for US 19 (I-70's Exits 19
B-A) and exit sign for PA 136/Beau St. (Exit 20) on I-70 West/I-79
North. Because of the close proximity of the PA 136 interchange to
the US 19 cloverleaf, all four of the ramps for this interchange are
located on the east side of PA 136. Note also the use of 0.375
mile as the distance to the US 19 interchange. It is actually a
common occurrence to have advance exit signs of this distance in
Pennsylvania, but it is rare in other states. |
