I drove in the area earlier this week.  I saw regular US 280 shields on the ground, but only "TO US 280" on I-20/59.

I would say that both routes should be fully concurrent with each other.

The only revision I would make here at this point would be to remove the "5th/6thAve" point on both US 31 and US 280 completely (visible and hidden).  1PPI should be enough to cover both here in my opinion.

Other Point Concerns for US 31/US 280 in area:

US 31:
1.  CarrBlvd>-CarBlvd_S (I think) 
2. UnivBlvd>-UniBlvd. 
3.  BroMedCenDr needs to be shortened. 
4.  Maybe replace the shaping point south of CanRd with a visible point.
US 280: 
1.  UnivBlvd>-UniBlvd. 
2.  CherRd>-CheRd.
3.  I-459(19)>-I-459.

That's how I had things at first but the more I thought about it the more I disagreed with that scenario.  Hence why I went with the current configuration.

The rest of your suggestions were submitted this evening.
