    Well, not QUITE 1 highway. It's AR 60 near Rudy. At Rudy, it runs (and is >posted) north-south. 5 miles south of Rudy, it runs mostly east-west (and is
    posted as such).
    Any other examples?

    ME 3 in Bar Harbor sort of does this since it's basically a huge closed loop
    on its eastern end, so MDOT cheated and signed it with ROUTE banners so they
    don't have to figure it out. (Not a direction, just ROUTE.) I thought I had some pictures of this, but they're too blurry. The Yak might.
    Negative. Haven't been to Mt Desert Island in almost 10 years.
    Another one in the neighborhood: US-1A heads north along the Penobscot
    river from Stockton Springs to Bangor, then turns southeast to
    reconnect to US-1 at Ellsworth. I think in Bangor there are a few east/
    west signs, but mostly, between Bangor & Ellsworth, there are no
    banners at all. NO directional plates; not even ROUTE. Just a {1A}
    shield.

    Not Bangor proper, but there is at least one E/W banner I know of in
    Hampden.
