Erroneous road signs

[WillWeaverRVA]

So, apparently an END US 11 shield got posted near the intersection in Bristol, VA where US 11 splits into US 11E & US 11W...

Not necessarily erroneous, because US 11 does end there -- at lest in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Found this one on Central Parkway. Apparently US 127 and US 27 have been decommisioned and became state routes and US 52 mysteriously disappeared! Sarcasm Intended.

Gosh, that image is sooo blurry. Did you take it out of a moving car?

Yep

If you can figure out how to tell your camera to use a super-fast shutter speed, like 1/500s or faster, you'll get much clearer pics from a moving vehicle (as long as there's plenty of light).

I use my Moto E's crappy camera that I barely know how to use besides the crappy zooming and pressing the screen to take a picture.

I don't have a picture as this sign has been installed sometime between January and now, but here is a picture of the old sign.


ODOT recently saw the need to replace this assembly. The mileage sign is now mixed case (fine by me). But they replaced the reassurance marker with an OR-101 shield!

Just an update on this one (an edit would be buried), I emailed ODOT about a week ago about this issue, and today they left me a message that they replaced the sign. I won't be able to see it for myself anytime soon, but looks like the problem is solved. (Though it would have been nice to get a picture of the mistake first haha).

If I had seen this earlier, I might have looked for it.

US 431 North actually goes straight here.

There's another one of these on I-69 north I think.
The font looks like something out of the 30s but the shield is square.

                     This and a couple assemblies just like it have been up here in Bethel for roughly 6-8 years.

You may remember this from a few months ago, with the two lanes of I-285 seemingly directed onto Chamblee Tucker Road:



Now it has a brother downstream, which I saw for the first time yesterday, and which I'd driven past by the time I realized how epic the fail I'd just witnessed was.  Today, it's my gift to all of you:   

Spoiler below...



The split arrow is over the fifth lane on the new sign. The fourth lane is the one that splits, as shown correctly on the previous sign.

All it took was a wider sign.

Other than the bad layout of the signs, the left sign doesn't go to 216.

The Prairies seem to have a lot of shit signage. BC ain't great either, but I saw a lot of crap in Alberta last I was there.

What about this?

Advance signage is fine:



Pardon the blurriness, this sign indicates that the exit towards Harvie Heights is 1 km away. That's fine for the average motorist and the signgeek alike.

But, 1 km away, you see this sign:



Let me explain. This sign is for the same exit, near the gore point, but it says "1 km" on the sign. It took me several times to confirm that sign is for that exit, and not for another exit down the road.

What the sign is trying to say is that the town of Harvie Heights is in 1 km, and not the exit from the highway. There should be a standard exit arrow, then a sign off the exit saying the town is 1 km away.

Not necessarily erroneous, but confusing IMO.

Good lord. Exactly my point.

My last one. I'll be in Alberta until the 10th though, so who knows what I'll find. 



Minor, but the '1' shield is wrong. Should be a maple leaf TC shield.

Erroneous because at this point I-126 has ended; you are solely on US 76.

Not true.  SCDOT GIS data clearly shows I-126 ending @ Gadsden Street. (See the blue line.)

So does the Columbia map here on this page: http://info.scdot.org/sites/GIS/SitePages/tfresults.aspx?cty=Richland&MapType=Functional (View Sheet 8 for Columbia)

I even have an older copy of that map clearly showing a I-126 on that segment.

A relatively new installation, within the past year or so.
The problem here is that US1 was removed from Baxter Blvd in 2007; it now multiplexes with I-295 until Exit 4.
Back up one click to see the correct signage that it replaced.

US 192 WB at the exit for World Dr NB.

US 192 has three total lanes and none of them split here.  The right most lane could be considered an option lane, it spits out both of the ramp's two lanes at once.

Wow... was this reconfigured from that configuration??? But yeah, that's bad.
