Along the inner loop of I-695 near Dundalk, Maryland, a couple of overpass signs and exit signs are marked twice. However, the State Highway Administration will likely remove the old Highway Gothic signs and keep the Clearview ones. Not shown here is the Cove Road overpass; I didn't get a good view of the double signage on that one.

I found this today at the Holland Mills Rd Bridge in New Hamburg, ON. It appears they bolted a "Maximum 3t" sign on top of an old weight limit sign, but you can still see "tonnes" written at the bottom.

So now it reads "Maximum 3t tonnes"

Maybe t is a variable. Given the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic, t could potentially be as low as 0.05 (in which case the weight limit is 150kg, the weight of a large person).

Pretty hard to be prosecuted for violating these hours

If you stay the whole day, that is midnight to midnight, on the first Sunday of November, you might be subject to prosecution.

They didn't specify which 24 hours.

But what if it's daylight savings time and you head west, so that you have a 25 hour day? What happens for that 25th hour?

Sorry Noel someone beat you to that joke  (see two posts above you)
I'm kind of amazed that two separate people came up with that technicality though.

What about leap seconds?

On Interstate 66 west approaching the Roosevelt Bridge into Arlington, Virginia there's this overhead sign.

And then this smaller sign pretty much says the same thing.

I could be wrong, but looks like LA 1 is up ahead.

Does this count?

There are three sets of this too, 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile and at the ending point.

Personally, I think something like this is a good thing (if not a little over the top with the excessively large overhead signs!).

Spotted this on NY 531 in Spencerport. Three "EMERGENCY STOPPING ONLY" signs in a row.

The Thruway just installed something similar, only with the signs pointed towards the travel lanes rather than at drivers, in the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge.  They're near a pavilion and bald eagle statue.

You don't need both types of KEEP RIGHT signs...

This gem was on westbound I-69 in Flint MI for many years.  It was replaced a couple years ago.

Was the second I-69 shield originally a US 27 shield?

Actually for several decades, it was the norm for M-DOT to use multiple shields on the same pull through signs. 

For example, on I-75 there were pull throughs where the signs looked like this:

       75             Detroit            75
       
With a down arrow below each shield and the control city.

But you are correct in saying that having 2 shields on a two lane pull-through sign is a bit odd and redundant.  Michigan usually just uses (now) one shield centered over the control city.  At this particular point on I-69, US-27 would not have been a part of the interstate -- too far east.

^^^ I don't get it.

If "Lake Reservoir" is the joke, that's a fairly common trend.

[hbelkins]

"Lake" and "reservoir" are the same thing. It should either be "Nolin Lake" or "Nolin Reservoir."

The actual name is "Nolin River Reservoir" but most people refer to it as "Nolin Lake." (pronounced no-lynn).

My dad's oldest sister and her husband (my aunt and uncle) had a place on Nolin for years. We used to go fishing down there a couple of times a year.

Might have originally been an M-21 shield.
