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.

SR 20 SPUR turns right on Commercial Ave to head through town, consistent signage so far

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.

WSDOT signs banner routes mileposts with an “S” at the bottom, but in route logs omits that.
