Found in Temple, Texas today by Jeff Royston.

I don't know what's worse - the RIDOT style non-cutout shield, or the fact that they "upgraded" TX 363 into a business loop (with a non-existent parent no less!) .

Maybe it's the new trend...

This is the second time this has happened in Virginia (I-7 Business shields were up at one point).

Thanks to Kevin MacNutt for this picture from Downtown Harrisonburg:

I find that all the worse because Virginia has no Interstate business routes, meaning there's that much less excuse for making that mistake.

Looks like its trying to depict an awkward lane shift + lane addition.  That's definitely unique.

Seattle needs those.  I can't count how many intersections have misaligned lanes.

A really bad one in Tacoma along Emerson Street ... if you stayed straight, you'd drive head on into the oncoming left-turn lane:

(Yeah street view is old, but the newer street view is poorly aligned)

Not yet shown on GSV & I wasn't able to get a photo of such, but along US 222 Northbound approaching the PA 772 interchange; the 2-mile advance BGS for that interchange has a PA 272 shield on it.  This goof must've been made by the same contractor that erected the erroneous 322 Epharta BGS' instead of 322 Ephrata a year or two ago (those BGS' have since been replaced).

This would be a perfectly okay install if the road didn't actually curve to the left. It's been this way for a while now, I believe.

Saw this while driving home the other day.  This is on 15th Ave NE and NE 45th St. in Seattle.  Not necessarily erroneous, since there's actually two detour routes currently.  The Pacific Ave - Montlake Connector is currently undergoing construction and will be closed for another week, so the detour to the right (eastbound NE 45th St.) is for that.  The detour to the left is for the Brooklyn Ave excavation for Soundlink Light Rail, which will be closed for 6 more years.

Regardless, SDOT should have added supplementary signs for what the detour is for.

Continuing the Virginia theme, Route 22 was "upgraded" in Louisa.






Still there, huh? hbelkins posted that in post #2585 of this thread. How recent is the Street View image?

Street View needs to update itself more often.

Old version:
http://goo.gl/maps/hqC5T

At the time, that intersection was under reconstruction.  Afterwards, with everything all said and done, the RI-126 shield was replaced with a US-126 (??) shield - in the same font, more or less, as the old shield!  :ded:  AFAIK, that particular street did not get an upgrade.

Yes, thank you for explaining that.  On the plus side, the closed part of 35th Ave. NE around NE 105th St. has reopened.

Not really erroneous, but

The directional sign infers that 101 goes to 129, but in fact, this is 129 in a concurrency with 101.

^ This is the only occurrence of two triple digit routes being multiplexed in Ontario, and there isn't one normal assembly anywhere along that short multiplex.

US 404 shield on NY 404. I've seen others in that area, not sure if they're still there.

So that's where alpsroads.net gets the US 404 shield from?
Clinched, plus MA 286

Traveled, plus several state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25 (updated from 14)

New clinches: MA 286
New traveled: MA 14, MA 123

Just randomly turned on HGTV and found an episode of House Hunters with a Cincinnati couple who have a 36 inch OH state route 50 shield hanging in their basement.  Apparently this episode was new "today" (19 Feb 2015).  Sorry I don't tell like taking a picture of my TV set at the moment.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

If there is a Speed Limit 50 sign posted, but the law on the books says it's supposed to be 40, what's the enforceable limit?

If it's striped and signed for two-way traffic (and for the left turn from the driveway), it's de facto legal regardless of what the de jure law says.
