Wisconsin Highway Sign
| Wisconsin State Highway sign along STH 11 near Galesville, one of a whole new vocabulary of signage created for automobile traffic. The inverted triangle was used as a standard state highway sign at least through the 1920s in cities and villages where no post was available. A shield shaped sign similar to that adopted by the federal government was used when a pole was available. The lower numbers indicated that state highways 35 and 54 could be reached by a left turn ahead. In 1933 State Highway 11 became US Highway 14. |
