US Historic Highways (brown shield) are generally primary alongside US highways (white shield) unless something has seriously changed it's characteristic with time (like, were it officially signed as such, a long-abandoned miles-long alignment that is a regularly gravelled-over single 10'-wide asphalt lane with flush concrete curbs would get the relation and the ref, but remain track or unclassified), or trunk where they're basically a freeway but lack certain features (ie, high-speed, grade separated with sliproads but single carriageway (Chickasaw Turnpike); Interstate Highway standard full division with hard shoulders, but at-grade intersections and possibly driveways (most of US 75 between Bartlesville City Limits and OK 11, among a many many more in the midwest), or some mix of the two (OR 224 between OR 99E and I 205; WA 500 on it's first couple miles leading away from I 5). There's a spot near my office where US Historic 66 1928-1932 presently traverses a staircase! Signage is visible on the street below the staircase, the street at the top of the staircase has a "TO" sign for the route to lead motorists following that route around the block on the lamp post at the head of the stairs.
