Erroneous road signs

[LilianaUwU]

At least they didn't spell it "Dolorama", which would imply that it's a place of great distress or sorrow.

With what they sell being so low quality... it would make sense.

Talk about a sign goof in Christiansburg, VA.  I had to turn around when I saw this one. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10218973337284907&set=a.10218973377685917)

The west 11 or the 11 on a 3dus shield?

The west US 11 and the south US 460 BUS.

To be fair, those banners do reflect 11 and 460's actual directions at that point.

Apparently that's supposed to be a sign for US-69 Business. How the heck did that happen?

Well technically the sign is correct. There is A junction with a US Highway in 1/2 mile.

I'd call this more misleading rather than erroneous. But while overall Nevada's signage is better than average in the USA, they do have this whopper. Driving west on US 50 about 10 miles west of Fallon Nevada, US-50 and US-50A separate. Traffic defaults onto US-50A and to stay on mainline US-50 you need to enter the left turn lane with blinkers on.  You'd think there would be a US-50 shield with a left arrow somewhere in the vicinity but you'd be wrong. There are only 2 signs for this interchange, the first useless unless you get the subtle hint it contains, and the 2nd is small, barely visible, and too late once you see it.

They got your idea from what you posted yesterday.

There's not even a Missouri Secondary Route A nearby.

I've made so many drives between Vegas and Reno along this route, and never really thought about this before. It does meet what would be expected from the MUTCD signage, but you would expect more substantive signage...NDOT signing practices are typically better than that. For example, this sign at the Coaldale Junction where the US 6/95 concurrency splits and US 6 takes the left turn. Or this more extreme example on US 93 north, where the mainline turns left and through traffic defaults to US 93 Alt, which employs a freeway-quality overhead sign structure on a rural two-lane highway.

Also, the second sign is perhaps the only time I've ever seen an instance of incorrectly signing Carson City as "Carson".

What is a commercial trick?

At least they eventually corrected it as presently a brand new sign spells " trucks"  correctly.

This appears to be a GSV stitching error.

Well it's a good error as one could easily think that a typical human error could have occurred here.

One click forward immediately reveals there is no error, though. Did you not click around much?

No.  It's not.

From what I hear, it's a popular activity in the darker corners of truck stops...

A double whammy. First, the QC 138 half of the assembly is missing a straight arrow. Then, the QC 371 half of the assembly shouldn't exist at all, as this part of QC 371 was decommissioned in 2005. This assembly was put up between September 2017 and October 2018 per Street View.

The JCT banner should be for CR 616. This is EB CR 501 here turning left from Amboy Avenue to King George Road in Fords, NJ.

Not sure if this has been posted in the previous 200-plus pages, but this is on the US-12 bridge from Clarkston, WA to Lewiston, ID.  US-12, not WA 12 . . .

The TO banner is not needed. This is US 60 EB.
