This new sign was installed in advance of junction with US 59 on US 56. In addition to the standard guide city pull-downs, it also guides drivers to the frontage road on the east side of the freeway. The name of the roadway, however, is E 1260 Road, not N 1260 Road. It's a goof on the plans. 4 October 2012
