Old US 6/50, Colorado/Utah Border

Some of these are almost identical to the 20 or so you put in the "best of" thread. What makes these "worst of"?

Some of those are genuinely bad. Some of those are just old (the Hawaii button copy signs). And I can't figure out what's wrong with the TO WEST US 14 sign.

Those old button copy signs belong in "Best Of," not "Worst Of."


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Button-copy isn't automatically "best of" material. But I don't think these are "worst of" material either.

Richmond is definitely putting an emphasis on VA 33 at this recently constructed roundabout

So it's merely erroneous, not "Worst of."

Found this US 41 on Collier County Route 29 to be particularly odd:

Even this one with the warped US Route shield which I can kind of forgive for the near "Tamiami Trail" placard:

Not sure that a sign missing a bolt counts as "worst of."

I'm thinking the "worst of cred" goes to the green background, arrows, & TO banners?
Runnin' roads and polishin' rails.

Misshaped shield. It looks fat at the bottom.

In other words, not even close to the worst of.
