This particular Fast Track road (Experss Lane) was named after Samuel H. Experss, the founder of Fast Track. :-P

It looks like there are many sign fabricators that cannot determine the difference between a US route and a state route.  Many of these signs look good, however, these errors are becoming more and more numerous.

An unintended consequence of a bridge replacement project on US 1/301 just north of VA 145 is that a US 145 shield has been brought into the world. I'll get a photo within the next few days.

I never thought I'd see an Autechre reference on this forum, even as weird as some of us are.

For added roadgeek cred, they had an EP with tracks named after the places along Snake Pass.

They're also known for intentional track misspellings, so we now continue with our regularly-scheduled thread programming...

I guess someone decided that the US 144 shield in Colonial Heights needed a friend.

U.S. 38 shield on OH 38 North in Marysville. Photo taken 2/20/16.

So happy I accidentally happened on these same signs.  Got to see them for myself!  These are at the junction of OH-736 on the south side of Marysville, OH

Heh, yeah. My photo of the 145 didn't turn out (because race car). I'll try again next time I'm up that way.

I thought it was posted because it's a "2 hour parking" restriction during a 1 hour time period.

Maybe it's two metric hours???

^^ When France tried that, a day was divided into 10 metric hours and there was no AM or PM.

So each time zone had a width of 36° longitude?  Good luck getting any other country to agree to that  :bigass:

Were there 144 minutes per hour so the number of minutes per day would be retained? XD

Each hour had 100 minutes and each minute had 100 seconds, meaning 100,000 seconds in a day so each metric second was a little bit shorter than a regular second.

And of course they didn't have time zones in 1793.  Each place would set its time with noon when the sun was at its highest point in the sky.  When they were trying decimal time, instead of noon, it would be 5.  Decimal time lasted even less long than the French revolutionary calendar.

There must be something about "US 38" because I noticed this sign in Richmond, Indiana last week, guiding traffic to US 35 and Indiana 38. The sign is likely not by INDOT as it's on a local street.



By the way, I don't it's actually too easy to find erroneous road signs in Indiana based on my travels, so this was rare find for me.

That's a special kind of mistake! Someone clearly got the shields backwards.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

It's a double mistake, since that's not even the correct state route marker.

I don't get it. 1 hour parking from 7pm to 8pm? That couldn't possibly be right. Why bother even posting the sign?

I'm putting my money on accidental use of "PM" for the 7 o'clock hour.
