Nevada's route markers are fashioned after the state outline, as are many state highway markers throughout the United States. Since the majority of Nevada's state highways are numberes as 3-digit highways the shield is designed in a 3-digit format only. Note that Nevada DOT uses an cutout version of the marker on highway guide signs *(also known by roadgeeks as BGS or "Big Green Signs"). These older signs are being phased out.

Current US Highway Markers

Nevada currently uses the standard square US shield used in most other states. on highway guide signs (BGS) a cut out version of the shield is used that omits the black square.

Nevada's interstate markers conform to those used in the rest of the United States. As in other states, the state name is slowly being phased out of use on the shields.
