Signs With Design Errors

[PHLBOS]

Where's the SPUI? Exit 22 is not one, and neither is Exit 23.

I've since re-examined Google Maps in the area.  Both interchanges are now diamonds.  Earlier post has since been corrected.

As for my earlier post (reply #826), I was talking about left-justifying the text of the sign.  For example...
                   
     CA 150     EXIT 84
     Ojai
     Lake Casitas
           1/2 MILE

Just place a California miner's spade in place of the CA 150.

I just have to ask, but HOW do you manage this!?

Make a single metal pieces repeating "RAIL ROAD RAIL ROAD RAIL ROAD" for many such signs, then cut it in the wrong places?

Backing up, it looks like that error has been there from 2011 through 2015. Oops.

But is it supposed to say "railroad crossing" or "rail / road crossing"?  Both are true; this is a place where the rail crosses the road.  So "road / rail crossing" makes just as much sense.  If someone is used to interpreting the sign as three words and not two, this could be an easy mistake.

What else would the railroad be crossing that's relevant to a sign posted on a road? It's like requiring a JCT sign to also identify the road you're on. It makes no sense.

"Rail" and "road" are not mutually exclusive, in the context of a junction between a railway and a road. The "road" in railroad is referencing the train track, not the road. Yes, I see your point. I think it's just a little far fetched.

Technically, the meeting point of a railroad and a road is a "railroad/road junction".

Michigan does that.

Michigan also requires you to make 3 right turns in order to turn left, soooo.............

Can you give me an example of what that looks like? I'm kind of curious now.

[lordsutch]

Um,  that's not how a Michigan Left works. Maybe you're thinking of a jughandle, New Jersey's specialty?

Jughandles don't require 3 right turns. There usually two turns (3 when local streets are used as a makeshift "jughandle"), the first being a right, with the second a right or a left. Same number of turns as a Michigan left except in a different order.

And, something about the font sizes on this distance sign has always bothered me, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it:

That Carroll CountY sign is not as bad as that of Craig County.

Also, fixed link, as basic Google Maps won't accept the original one.

I'm not sure if this is a design error, or an error performed post-design, but the sign should say "Lane Restriction" not "Lane Restricted":

If anything, it should read RESTRICTED LANE.

Most of the signs in the Seattle area (the particular sign in question here is in Gig Harbor, WA) read "Left Lane Restriction ... Ends x/x Mi": https://goo.gl/MfuJ1U

[Kacie Jane]

It definitely should not read "Restricted Lane Ends", since the lane itself does not end (it continues as a general-purpose lane), only the restriction ends.

I-66 westbound prior to the exit for VA-28: https://goo.gl/maps/QpkQqancGbp
The two L's in Centreville are a tad small, and are no higher than the rest of the lowercase characters.

And, something about the font sizes on this distance sign has always bothered me, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it:

It reminds me of an exit tab (or an action message), in which the numeral is supposed to be larger than the surrounding text, and it looks like this standard was used for the design of this sign.

The 8 is HUGE.

Also, they spelled "Centre" wrong HAHAHA TAKE THAT CANADIANS!
