And a very Oklahoma Special™-esque sign in the same area:

Construction signage always gets special grace.  But that [7] is pretty funny.

I feel like this sign is worth cross-posting to this thread. It's tough to read it even as a still image!

I'm aware that this isn't a new sign, but I had the distinguished honor of driving past this beauty, seeing it with my own eyes and getting a picture last month. The funniest part about it is that I wasn't expecting to see it, I didn't really know where this sign was. The surprise was great. 10/10 roadgeek moment.

I prefer this to the regular OK garbage. Dare I say it's so bad it's good?

Not a horrible sign (not feeling the all uppercase letters on a modern sign though) but can you imagine what it would look like if there were multiple state routes on it?  :-D

I think those are some of my favorite sign finds, as well. I also knew about this sign about a year earlier, had forgotten where it was, so it was also fun to just see it unexpectedly appear.

Before I clicked on it, I thought, "Pfft, how bad could it be?"

Yowsers.

I wonder how many people on the forum besides myself and Takumi have ever been by that sign.

I've been in the area but I have no clue how I missed this.
