"END OK 72" signage at U.S. 266 as
OK 72 South
comes to an end. (Photo taken 10/31/03) |

Another sign for U.S. 266 is
located about 1/4 mile
to the south of the "END" sign on OK 72 South.

At the "JCT U.S. 266" sign on
OK 72 South, an "END
U.S. 72" sign assembly is posted. So do U.S. 72 and
OK 72 end here?! (Photo taken 10/31/03) |

East at OK 72 North. This makes the fourth
U.S. 72 shield present at this intersection! And out of
the six highway 72 shields I saw at this intersection
from OK 72 and U.S. 266 East, only two of them
were correct! I wonder what the story is on U.S. 266
West. (Photo taken 10/31/03) |

North at OK 51. The railroad bridge makes
it close to impossible to put any other signs at the
terminus besides a stop sign. There is no "END"
sign at this terminus. (Photo taken 10/31/03) |
