Erroneous road signs

[US71]

there was a US-11 error somewhere in Oklahoma in late 2006.  I cannot remember where, but it was part of a construction zone.  I'd love to say I have a photo of it on the shield gallery, but I appear to be some sort of a demon slug so I do not.

There's a US 51 sign near Stilwell and an OK 64 circle shield near Tulsa.

I always like "state routes signed with a US shield" errors more than their converse, for some reason.  Could you get me photos of each, especially the US 51?

It was at I-35 & OK 11 (Exit 222):

I definitely remember how that road was closed.  I got off the freeway there to get gas, and at 4am the layout of the construction zone was not intuitive, so I think at one point I drove down some new concrete I was not supposed to!

here is my photo.  trust me, it's an 11 pair.

Not sure if this is "erroneous" or not



To read it literally, it's NO "No U Turn"

Here is an "error". It is for US 1 Business in Damariscotta, Maine. It is a US 1B shield. Its not US 1B Business, its just plain US 1 Business. Its Maine's way by mixing 1 and Business in one shield. I haven't seen another like it, so thats why I call it an error.

That's how Arkansas does it. Business routes are xxB, often posted with a Business Banner

Then this will be right up your alley:



US 62A should be NY 62A. (Note that NY 62A has since been redesignated as Business US 62.)

At least this sign was in an area near the actual US 62!

sweet, can we put that on the gallery?

Here's a gantry in Sacramento that was correct when it was posted, but since 1982 has not been:

what's wrong with it?  is it referring to Business 80 with the regular 80 shield?

I had to look at a map to figure that one out as there actually is a TN Sec 79, but it's nowhere near US 70A and, not surprisingly, the 79 sign should be a US route.

Talk about disrespect!  Not only downgrading US 79 to a state route but a secondary one at that! 

BTW Where exactly was that sign found?

I forgot, I was surfing flickr. Here's one from Synthetic Dreamer...

RE: Master son (I can't get the quote button to work)
This was the "WIS" 14 error that was posted before.  I had to go out and find it myself. (almost easier than finding it in the forums    )

That WIS 14 error is part of old City US 14, now Business US 14, north of Janesville.  Three assemblies along Bus 14 north of Janesville city limits have this error.  This one doesn't even have the "Business" sign.

Bonus WIS 14 errors:


Found in Janesville, not on City US 14.  The design is relatively new and the traffic is usually heavy, but I suppose it costs too much to fix it right now.



This one was in Middleton while some entrance ramps along the beltline were closed.  Also should be US 14. 
Another construction sign shows state 12 instead of US.  This kind of error is fairly common with DOT construction signs; I recall seeing TO WIS-14 shields along 39/90 when the road east of Janesville was closed, and there were probably plenty around the Marquette interchange in Milwaukee.  I also saw WIS-43 on some side road in south Milwaukee, didn't occur to take a picture then.  I bet there will be more once the construction on 94 gets underway south of Milwaukee.

The rest of the ones I found and took pictures on are in my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wandering_drive/tags/error/

OK, I give up.  What's wrong with that sign? 

(As having never been to that part of Virginia, it's not obvious to me.)

What's listed as ALT US 1 is really mainline US 1...the sign on the left lists mainline 1/17 when they're both business routes (on the road to the left at the traffic light).  And VA 2 doesn't begin until downtown Fredericksburg.

There's no longer a VA 305 here.



Not an error, but rather VDOT testing your reading skills.

[froggie]

There's no longer a VA 305 here.

There hasn't been a VA 305 here in almost 50 years.  It was decommissioned back when this was still Princess Anne County, but VA Beach never did get the memo...

This one?

I need to rescan it at some point...

I can't figure out what's wrong with that one...  I-64 is north of US-60 and VA 5 is south of US-60. Though that might be more evident if I knew where exactly the sign was.
