On the other eastern NE Lincoln Highway segments, I didn't notice any signage in Waterloo (but it was dark) and the Elkhorn segment tried to wreck my car.

I found a few signs in Waterloo: 1 2 3

Well that explains it, I was going west-to-east and all those signs are going east-to-west. I withdraw any objections.

On the topic of the Lincoln Highway, the ne.linhwy route (https://travelmapping.net/hb/showroute.php?units=miles&r=ne.linhwy) has a number of points where it jumps off of US 30 and on to county roads (and back again), but these points aren't in the main US 30 file.

Thought that I would mention that the Jefferson Highway is signed in Oklahoma throughout the state:

Colbert
Muskogee
Okay
Stringtown
McAlester
Eufaula
Picher

It looks like most of these signs were put up in the last year or so. It's pretty decently signed on state-maintained roads, but it does not look like it is signed on county or city-maintained roads.

Someone put together a useful map of the route of the Jefferson Highway:

There is a disconnected portion of the Lewis and Clark Trail in Saline County, Missouri, which is not in the Highway Browser. This spur presumably starts in Van Meter State Park (I haven't found any true shields along MO 122, but there is this sign in the state park that appears to have the LC Trail logo.), but the first actual signage on GMSV is at the MO 41/MO 122 intersection. The route turns north onto MO 41, and then turns west onto Mechanic Street in Miami. Exactly where in Miami the northern terminus is located is unclear (maybe at the boat ramp/fishing access point on the Missouri River on the north side of town?).
