The unusual directional signage is a vestige of when SR 211 traveled further south acting as a bypass of New Philadelphia and Dover.

Route 250 (US 250) freeway, to its signed northern terminus at a signalized intersection with SR 800 near downtown Dover.

This intersection is surrounded by numerous commercial businesses including gas stations and fast food restaurants as a part of its closeness to the Interstate.

It heads east and after crossing into the city and an R.J. Corman railroad at-grade, SR 211 follows Tuscarawas Avenue towards the southeast through a residential neighborhood of Dover.

Before crossing the Tuscarawas River, SR 211 turns left to head northeast on Front Street for three blocks.
