WASHINGTON, D.C. — There are a couple of things I like about these new overhead signs on I-395 North (Southwest Freeway). The control city of “Capitol Hill” makes sense and seeing “Nationals Park” makes me smile. “Nat’l Mall” is also very useful. I also like that exit numbers are finally being rolled out on I-395 North, though I would have just continued the Virginia numbering. I suppose the appeal of exit 1 being for US 1 makes it okay though. Up until the renumbering of the Virginia side of the Capital Beltway, the Virginia exit to US 1 was exit 1. While that was lost, the US 50 exit in Virginia became exit 50, so it was a wash.

One other thing, I’m pleased the didn’t use the Clearview typeface.
