Old shields. Wonder when this will get updated when the Kinston bypass gets built.

Any idea as to where the "To 75" sign on the previous page might be located?

Right off of Mitchell Avenue near downtown Cincinnati.

The "To 75" looks like a private entity may have posted it, based on that Street View image.

Oh, yeah. That's in a parking lot. That's nowhere near as interesting

Sorry. Was just trying to share something that I found interesting.

Rest assured it's still an awful sign and more than interesting enough for this thread.

But if it was installed by a primary agency (so to speak), that would put it at another level of awfulness.

This "[WA]-520 ahead" shield is pretty shit:

Tosh Road, Redmond, WA.

It is pretty.  But it is also shit.

Good choice of words.

To call that thing a shield is an insult to actually respectable shields.

One last photo before leaving Chicago. Taken on W Lawrence at the Kennedy Expressway.

[kphoger]

I kind of like that.

[hotdogPi]

I kind of like that.

It's much harder to notice that the red part says "WEST" instead of "INTERSTATE", which is vital information.

Oh.  I totally didn't catch that.

I mean, it's kind of better that it's not trying to be a shield. I'd rather have something like this than the I-75 Macon shield at the top of the page. Better to stick to what you know and gets the job done, rather than to try something too ambitious and fail hard at it.

My only suggestion would be a space or hyphen after "SR".

Your post IS at the top of the page.

That is weird, it is not for me neither. The I-75 Macon is the top for me.

[1995hoo]

For me, reply 5950 from ethanhopkin14 is at the top of the page. This is page 120 of this thread.

[jakeroot]

The standard settings are oldest to newest, 25 posts/page.

The Macon shield is at the top per those settings. If you change the settings, don't be surprised when references like that don't make sense.

Interesting Street blade with part of its lettering removed. The E and Left arrow were removed from a sign that once had both directions for CR 510 on US 202 South in Morristown, NJ.

Oh, I'm not surprised.  I'm just pointing out that such references make zero sense to those of us with different settings.  Similarly, anyone saying something like "on page 61" will make no sense to anyone with a different number of posts per page.

And I figured an administrator would know that.

Maybe I know but just don't care. You figured out which 75 sign I meant, didn't you?

Didn't need to look actually.  I remembered it, because it's JUST. THAT. BAD!

US 460 EB at VA 168  in Norfolk has this weird assembly and old style KEEP RIGHT as well.

Here is an updated (GSV 2018--above was GSV 2014) version of the area...

Notice the US 60/I-64 reference has been moved to a pole beside the turn lane instead of ahead of it.

Norfolk couldn't help themselves from using another compressed Clearview shield though.
