WV: WV-34*** (Hurricane) identity crisis

[rickmastfan67]

We currently have the route as an Alternate, but there are signs saying it's a Business route as well....
Official PDF from WVDOH shows 'ALT', but with a newly posted 'Business' shield (see below), I'm really confused here to say the least. lol.

I'm thinking of just keeping the route 'as-is' name wise, but would appreciate some opinions on this weird one.

'mainline' SB: https://goo.gl/maps/Qk66ZQEoFWN2 (hard to read, but looks like a 'Business' banner, plus it's newly posted sometime between Nov '16 & Sept '17)

Another way of looking at it is that West Virginia has zero Business routes...

It is also shown as ALT in their Federal Aid Roads listing (pg. 26 - ftp://gis.transportation.wv.gov/HPMS_Reports/WV_FA_Roads_2016.pdf)

FWIW, Commission Orders from 2007-17 do not mention a change in WV 34 ALT...
