Is there any reassurance signage for I-44 in either direction here? This 
is close enough to the I-44/55 junction that the exit 40C overhead could 
easily be implying that it's 'TO' I-44, like exit 1C on I-255 westbound 
is signed US 50/61/67 despite not leading directly to the latter two.

The mileposts display I-55 rather than I-44; is it MoDOT policy to 
always use the lowest number (if both are the same network)?
