I've seen it 3 times, and it looked like U.S. 8 each time.  But the sign
also indicates 8 going southbound, while even numbered U.S. highways run
east-west.  Conclusion:  That wasn't an actual sign, only a prop.  And
to confuse things more, while there isn't a Hill Valley, CA, there is a
Mill Valley just north of San Francisco.
