MA 10
MA 10 Information: South terminus is at the CT State border in Southwick (cosigned with US 202). North terminus is at the NH state line in Northfield, MA.
History/Facts: MA 10 keeps its number from the old New England Intersate System numbering, but these days it is almost always cosigned with another highway, whether it be US 202, US 5, or other MA routes. A bit of trivia, the old NE 10 corridor from New Haven through the Connecticut river valley is generally termed the College Highway (and several roads have this name) as several colleges/prep schools were along its alignment.
This page shows MA 10 that doesn't spend any time on US 5, MA 9, or US 202.

Welcome to Greenfield.
This starts the section on the famous Alabama error signs, which garnered national attention. These signs were up only for a few days, and I was on vacation in Montana at the time, else I would have gotten my own photos! Apparently the contractor made a big screw up in ordering the signs.

More signs, and the South should be on TOP of the route shield.
This isn't the 10 north section, but I'm keeping all of these together.
These are the "fixed" signs. The directional is still on the wrong "side" of the sign.
That ten sure is ugly as sin.
Interesting looking LGS in Easthampton.
That one's interesting too.

Welcome to Southampton.
Old-style Mass Turnpike trailblazer, just like the one we saw in Noho. Easily dates from the 70s or earlier.
And another one! It's a goldmine!
