I don't have pictures, but I saw 2 while I was in NJ last week:
1. The long-standing black-and-white, Interstate-shaped, route 9 symbol at Exit 29 on the Parkway north.

This one? (taken by me on 8/4/03)

^^ My eyes!  How they burn!

Apparently Bud Shuster wasn't finished after I-99...

  I'm not so sure.  I-99 may break the grid, but its signs are within spec.

would be nice if they had the state name, though... which is, indeed, back in the specs as of 2003.

Here's one I found on Onthighways.com of a now removed US 37 sign that's supposed to be NY 37 on the ON 401 offramp:


The one on the other ramp is still there in streetview though:

Here's one I found on Onthighways.com of a now removed US 37 sign that's supposed to be NY 37 on the ON 401 offramp:
*ON 16/416/US 37 assembly*

The directional sign on the 37 sign is wrong, too...37 runs east/west, not north/south.

The one on the other ramp is still there in streetview though:
*GSV link*

That's actually surprising, considering that all of the BGS's for Exit 721B on 401 (along with LGS's along 16 for the bridge, and the LGS off of the WB ramp) used to have incorrect US 37 shields as well...they've since been overlaid with NY 37 shields, complete with black background. The BGS assembly for 401 westbound doesn't show 37 at all!

I like the size of the text on the orange tape jobs through the construction zone there.

CLOSED

you mean, like this?  Sorry kids, Ohio State is closed now.  LOL

Not a major error, but an error nonetheless






This one you'd have to see the location to understand why it's an error:


Here's the
streetview

Here's a succession of signs (hint, it's the same direction of I-40)

View 1

View 2

This has been fixed since, but back in April, 2010 it was like this.

[ - Please resize your images manually down to 800 width.  You're making some Internet browsers stutter badly.  Thanks. -rmf67]

I thought we had an auto-resize script as a stopgap, or did we knock it out since it was masking the problem, and not solving it?

Well, one of his images somehow bypassed it and was full size in the forums.  The other one had javascript resizing and was freaking out my browser.

I noticed the one, that is why I was wondering if our countermeasure had been taken away.  The other one was not freaking out the browser for me.  I'm running firefox 3.5.3.

I don't know if the countermeasure has been.  As for the browser freakout, it does it in IE.  Yes, I use IE because it has a x64 version that I don't have to worry about flash in it.

Serves me right for directly linking imageshack to this forum.

Let me see if I can resize it in IS and post it again.

[EDIT] Apparently not.  Okay, here's the gist of the two images.  One is a BGS with a left-handed tab, which is correct.  The second is a gore sign with a right-handed arrow, which is wrong.

RMF67, does the image linking code allow resizing in the image tag?

[agentsteel53]

I have a firefox add-on called FlashBlock that disables all flash apps unless explicitly requested. 

[rickmastfan67]

RMF67, does the image linking code allow resizing in the image tag?

Here, yes.  However with very large images that are resized by them, some browser sutter very badly when moving over them.  I could resize the images for you and then you re-upload them to your imagesack account and repost.   Let me know if you want me to and what e-mail address to send them to.

Poor weather sorta got in the way here, but:


I actually didn't notice this error until I was looking through the pictures I'd taken and loading them onto my computer. I thought I was just snapping a picture of an old button copy sign!


(in case you can't figure it out, NJ 202 should be US 202)

[corco]

Here's a new one. No buckinghorse, no "ming," just WYO 59.

On 59 on the godforsaken stretch of road halfway between Gillette and the Montana line

Not too much of an error, but DelDOT messed up the colors for the E-ZPass logo! The text is supposed to be white and the background is supposed to be purple. I-95 southbound approaching the Newark toll plaza.

[deathtopumpkins]

I found an I-95 trailblazer on westbound RI 138 a few miles east of the interstate that had "I-95" in a 3-digit shield, but was unable to get a picture or find it on streetview afterward.

[agentsteel53]

Rhode Island does that sometimes.  This one is on the mainline.

[Ian]

Savannah, GA has a few I-I-16 shields...

Meh, that logo doesn't look too bad. Those signs are hideous, but not because of the reverse-colored E-ZPass logo.

Denver likes to do this:





I think there might be a state-named one on the mainline.
