[edit] Florida

The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. page [1] shows some U.S. Routes that are Blue Star Memorial Highways:

• U.S. Route 1
• U.S. Route 17
• U.S. Route 19
• U.S. Route 41
• U.S. Route 90
• U.S. Route 92
• U.S. Route 98

--Geopgeop 09:55, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

One on U.S. Route 19, exists in Crystal River, but I always thought they were used strictly along one specific route, and mainly on the East Coast. ----DanTD 15:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Jersey

Here's the link where New Jersey routes are known: [2]

Here are the routes:

• U.S. Route 22
• Interstate 78
• Interstate 80 in New Jersey
• Interstate 287 (New Jersey)
• Interstate 295 (New Jersey)

[edit] Illinois

To re-align route 176, we removed a Blue Star sign mid-1972 from the southern intersection infield of routes 47 and 176 east of Marengo. As far as I know it was never relocated. --Robertkeller 18:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Virginia

The frontage road along southbound Interstate 95 in Virginia is named "Blue Star Memorial Highway" in Southern Virginia. I used to think that was strictly for I-95 itself. ----DanTD 15:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
