This way/that way ( <===> ) sign that goes a little further

[txstateends]

Forgive my description, but I didn't peruse the MUTCD to find the official name of the sign....

Anyway, one of these is in Carrollton, TX, and is, well, a little MORE than necessary::::


This is BY FAR, the stretchiest version of this type of sign I've ever seen.

Oh, and for the unbelievers (or at least those that think 'photoshop'): http://goo.gl/maps/1uevA

I noticed that one.

Maybe people were running through the sign too much??

That is what I would assume.  It could be one of those intersections that has some sort of optical illusion, mirage or sameness that would cause someone not to pay attention.  Instead of a series of red or yellow diamonds with reflectors, a large two-way traffic sign was used.

Akron, Ohio has been known to balance that out by using the equivalent in a way-too-short version.

Where is it? I don't see it.

Hard not to. 

Anyway, Belt Line in Carrollton is not state-maintained, so that's a city special.

I'm thinkin' that sign was installed by a contractor.

I think that's a university job given the road going left from that intersection is no longer technically open.

This one was installed by a TxDOT contractor at the end of the odd exit ramp for Lake Dallas. Small enough?

Ha! I love the normal-size guide sign, the tiny arrow sign, and the uber-large interstate sign. Talk about contrasts.

City ownership of Carroll St. continues a little ways eastbound at least past Buckeye St, and the road going left is very much open--it leads to a couple thousand parking spaces in two decks, the turnaround outside the student center, truck loading docks for the student center, etc...it's definitely still city jurisdiction and up close you could see the AKTE logo on the sign.  (It's in light lettering inside the black border--not going to be visible in any street view.

That reminds me of a sucker that's been licked almost all the way down to the stick.

that sounds like what happens when one of PT Barnum's characters is all out of money.

Must have been left in the dryer too long...

I love how it's roughly the same size as the arrow plaque below the I-35E shield.
