Within Norton there are several assemblies of Shield shaped markers, both US and State routes. In town the signs actually indicate the "Business Route" and on the State posted (Square) signs at the edge of town are marked as such. Most of the signs in town do not actually have the "Business" banner on them.

The routes here are US-23, Alternate US-58 and State Primary Route 74. Also there is a Secondary State Route (SSR) 681 and a SSR-619 pictured.

Norton is home to a rare dual bannered US route, Business Alternate US-58. That makes a real mouthful when giving directions...
