Now it is signed as SR 20 West. For tourists, who I imagine are many of the people traveling to the San Juan Ferry Terminal, this could be quite confusing, this “Spur\/West” alternation. If I’m a tourist, and told to follow 20 West, if I see a sign that says 20 Spur, I’m probably going to assume its a different route.<\/p>\n

Signed as 20 west now, proceed straight.<\/p>\n

Straight for SR 20 west, consistent so far<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: 36th St and Commercial Ave, Anacortes<\/p>\n

SR 20 SPUR turns right on Commercial Ave to head through town, consistent signage so far<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Commercial Ave and 12th St, Anacortes<\/p>\n

SR 20 SPUR turns left on 12th St. They save themselves by signing “San Juan Ferry” as a control destination, but the switch up on the directions.<\/p>\n

SR 20 SPUR turns left. Banner routes are rare in Washington<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: 12th St and O Ave<\/p>\n

WSDOT signs banner routes mileposts with an “S” at the bottom, but in route logs omits that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SR 20 SPUR bears right, heads down to the ferry terminal<\/p>\n
