It is unknown how old these signs actually are. A collection of Michael Summa pics of these from about 1991 show they looked really old then, too (click <a href="http://www.millenniumhwy.net/summa/summa.html">here</a> to access Mr. Summa's work). Here are the unisigns that have made it to at least 2006. All pictures taken by Mapmikey unless indicated otherwise. VDOT's District 2 consists of the following counties: Bedford, Botetourt, Carroll, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Henry, Montgomery, Patrick, Pulaski, and Roanoke  Last update: 1/13/12 - additions to US 58, US 221, VA 40 <table cellpadding="5" border> <tr> <TD WIDTH="150"> <a href="11unisign1.jpg" target="_blank"> <img border="1" src="tn_11unisign1.jpg" width="120"></a></TD> <TD>Approaching US 11 from SR 606 eastbound north of Troutville.   This one is visible from I-81 NB in the winter.
