 Highway Traffic Noise in the United States, Problem and Response - FHWA
Effective control of the undesirable effects of highway traffic noise requires that land use near highways be controlled, that vehicles themselves be quieted, and that mitigation of noise be undertaken on individual highway projects.
Compliance with the noise regulations is a prerequisite for the granting of Federal-aid highway funds for construction or reconstruction of a highway.

Highways highlighted in pink are 3-digit routes with numbers that I consider to be major violations of the US route numbering system.
I realize that's subjective, but the point is I'm not inclined to waste bandwidth by posting photos of statelines where a highway happened to end for a few years, or of "incremental" endpoints that were just temporary while a route was in the process of being truncated or extended to another location.

 Memorandum: Adopt-a-Highway Signs - Interpretation November 9, 2001
Recent discussions of the April 27 policy, along with dialogue in several of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) subcommittees, have highlighted much deeper issues that go beyond the simple enforcement of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards.
For example, the Maintenance Subcommittee has argued that several States have entered into agreements that allow a commercial entity to exchange maintenance and litter pickup services for signs acknowledging commercial sponsors who pay for the services.
The Traffic Engineering Subcommittee, on the other hand, has argued that this is a foot in the door to other types of advertising, including electronic advertising on overhead message boards, raising serious concerns over driver distraction and confusion.
