Question Weird Icons on NBT Nagivation Maps

Hey everyone,

I've been scouring the Internet and my manuals and can't come up with what these icons are on my navigation system. There are blue pentagon shaped icons with number in them that show up on random roads. Sometimes there's a slash between numbers. They also don't correspond to any highway or street numbers that I can tell. I've also looked through the enabled points of interest to see what they could be but I only have a handful turned on. My nav system is a 2015 NBT and has been updated with North America 2019-1 maps.

Can anyone explain what these blue icons are?

Thanks!

Jason

Ok, I think I've figured it out. I started looking around the area with Google maps to see if these could be some sort of road numbers and, while not on any road signs that I've seen, I found a couple of them on Google maps (34 and 30/3 at least). So, I guess they're some local/county road numbers.

West Virginia problems....

1. The fractional signs is a WV county road thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:W...Highway_System
2. The blue pentagon is the most common county road sign in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_highway

haha, I use to work in Parkersburg btw. What you doing there?

Never saw those signs either here up and down the west coast, nor even noticed on the east coast for that matter, though I mostly stay in cities I suppose
