No reassurance shield at the beginning of the route, but there is one 5 miles in.

The Potholes area is quite interesting as a large man-made lake in the middle of flat sagebrush/farm nothingland. It’s actually quite beautiful and pretty congested. This reassurance shield as we pass the entrance to Potholes State Park to begin the move back west to Othello

SR 262 turns south onto A St, leaving the O’Sullivan Dam Rd behind. The turn is clear enough that no auxiliary signage is necessary

JCT SR 26 coming up in 3 miles, weird to do that instead of signing SR 262.

JCT SR 26. SR 26 is one of the main east-west thoroughfares in Washington, connecting Seattle to Pullman, Clarkston, and Lewiston ID. I’d argue it’s the most important highway signed as a state route in Eastern Washington

SR 262 ends at SR 26, which has no signage at the junction. Head west to Seattle or east to Colfax

W to SR 243, E to SR 24

N to I-90, S to SR 170
