From Howard Albers notes on the Virginia BPAC meeting
Considerable discussion was held about the US Bicycle Route 1 in Northern Virginia. The new route location and sign plans have been submitted to the approving authorities. As many as 80 new signs will be needed to keep riders from getting lost. Funding, however, for the signs could be a problem. Champe Burnley commented it would be good to have all the signs installed in 2015 so the upcoming bicycle visitors could enjoy the route to Washington, DC. Champe asked if donations could be made to pay for the signs. VDOT staffers said they would have to see if accepting donations for signs was legal.
In other news, representatives of motorists on I-95 asked VDOT if donations could be made to pay for needed exit signs. Oh, wait, that doesn't happen, because... car.

If they can't get the money to pay for signs, could they use paint on the ground with arrows in the meantime? I'm thinking something like a bike icon (maybe shield shaped) with US Bike Route 1 and an arrow indicating the turn.
