That's looking west on 5th Avenue South. The US 94 designation used to end there, and to the right (north on 9th Street South) was the south beginning of US 41. Robert had a custom historic US 94 shield manufactured, and then he had the sign temporarily posted at the historic terminus:

Perhaps there was once an "End US 41" assembly there. At any rate, it was once US 94 that began to the left ahead on 5th Av. US 41 was extended to the left in 1950, replacing US 94. That signage is somewhat recent; here's what it looked like until at least 2003:
