Shield Sign for Battery Tunnel
Photo Gallery Roadway Fixtures

Whereas bridges generally got shield shaped directionals, the tunnels got disk shaped signs. Here's a Battery Tunnel specimen from downtown Brooklyn. Have you ever wondered what determines whether an arrow points up, as opposed to down, on directionals? Believe me, it can't have anything to do with the difference in height between where you are and where you're going.
