File:Non-NY 27 Shield in Southampton, NY.jpg

English: A sign supposedly for New York State Route 27 on eastbound Hill Street at the intersection with Windmill Lane, in the Village of Southampton, New York. In the days when Sunrise Highway didn't reach the Hamptons, New York State Route 27 in the Village of Southampton came in from Montauk Highway into Hill Street, then turned north onto Windmill Lane, and back east onto Nugent Street, which turns into Hampton Road and later Montauk Highway. Later this would be replaced by NY 27A until that designation was truncated to Connetquot River State Park in 1972. However, New York State never used white circles on a black background as state route shields. That practice is for New Jersey.
