Erroneous road signs

[KEK Inc.]

How embarassing.

[corco]

That is terrible.. and potentially confusing. Do we know why they replaced this sign with that? I don't see much reason for overhead signage there...

That's still there.  The GSV link is actually eastbound (southbound), so quite honestly, it shouldn't even have 'to I-182'.

[corco]

Oh, well then why did they replace this perfectly good sign



But yeah, I can see where any trailblazer is pointless- you could do a TO US-12 I guess, but most of that traffic took US-730

[KEK Inc.]

er, they took I-182 to get to US-12 if they're coming from the West (North).  But yeah, I suppose it's pointless on both sides.

Oregon doesn't like I-82 according to this sign.  The Interstate gets no respect for its 11 mile glory run through the Beaver state.

[corco]

There are (were?) precisely two standalone reassurance shields on 82 east in Oregon, one after 730 and one after Powerline




But yeah, Oregon acts like I-82 is a joke- the Hermiston/Umatilla control cities say all that needs to be said abou tthat

[agentsteel53]

anyone ever seen a state-named I-82?  either state.  I've got a photo of a WASHINGTON example from 1983 and that's the newest...

[corco]

hahahahahaha nope, and I pretty thoroughly combed it and approaches in 07/08.

Since when have KFC & McDonald's been considered lodging? (On I-35 South near Wellington, KS)

Same for Penny's Diner, and KOA is probably "Camping" vs. Lodging.  Maybe "SERVICES NEXT EXIT" would be the easiest way to clean it up without making three separate signs or something.

I have seen homeless people lodging at McDonalds.

Furthermore, the KTA doesn't post any specific service signs (save Lodging and Camping) at any other exit on the Turnpike inside the mainline barriers, presumably to encourage Turnpike travelers to use the Service Plazas instead.

Evergreen Ln at its intersection with VA-236:

The arm mast signals in the picture are relatively new, being installed maybe about a year ago.  The right turn signal for traffic headed onto VA-236 west is new, and was not part of the previous signal installation.  However, the yield sign that used to control right turning traffic was left behind.

As of August 2011, this was on U.S. 50 east barely into Ohio: http://goo.gl/maps/dKOST

404 Error: We were unable to find Ohio State Route 50.

Similar error, different state: this VA-50 sign popped up in Arlington, VA a few years ago:

It's a rather ugly Ohio shield, too!

Here are a couple of error U.S. 195 shields in Yuma, AZ, that I took today:

where is that??  I don't know of any CA-11s left in the wild.  they switched over to I-110 and CA-110 in 1980.

I helped take this one down (with Caltrans) in 2001. It was at 7th/Gaffey St in San Pedro.



I have other photos on my Los Angeles Area Highways page (http://www.scvresources.com/highways/la_highways/)... I've been busy posting a lot of old and new photos lately.

As ugly as this?

Interstate 52, anyone? Picture taken today in La Jolla, CA.

That's obviously wrong; it's hundreds of miles away from Interstate 152:



(However, Caltrans fixed that sign some time ago.)

This is next to a commercial driveway in Fairfax City, Virginia, obviously near the courthouse. The courthouse garage charges $2.00 an hour, so a lot of people try to find alternatives.  I think this particular sign is new–I walked past the same place Wednesday and do not remember seeing it.

Either way, the landlord should get a refund.....

"VOILATORS" typo aside, I'm just wondering how exactly a dump truck icon represents "courthouse vehicles".
