Was that sign designed in New Zealand?

USVI.

[JoePCool14]

That goes in the erroneous thread.

^^ Or, more fittingly, the signs with design errors thread

Ah, here we go again...

Do you guys think it would be funnier if someone were to merge all the sucky-sign threads into one big one, or if all of the posts complaining about posts going in the wrong thread got moved without context to a "Complaints about sign photos in the wrong thread" thread? Asking for a friend.

The photo should be moved (as long as the complaint is accurate), and the complaint should be deleted once the move is done.

I'm not doing that because all of these complaints are entirely subjective, so then I'd just get complaints from people wanting it moved back.

It'd be a lot better if people would just stop fucking trying to gatekeep the thread.

I'm not certain if this would fit in the actual worst, but I'll let y'all be the judge.



(original size)

The font is off on all signs, the "NORD" is off-center and has an unnecessary green border around it.

[Scott5114]

Not only that, it's not even the same wrong font.

That’s pretty bad…

[LilianaUwU]

That's what I thought too. How do you choose two fonts and fail to use the right one twice?

Uhhhh, who paid these lads to post these signs? That 369 looks kind of Bannschrift-ish. The NORD, on the other hand, is kinda self explanatory.

That's definitely a Ville de Québec install. I don't dislike the 369 shield, personally, but the assembly as a whole is definitely the result of binge drinking at the sign shop.

To be honest, that's probably the genius of the Good, Bad, and Ugly thread. Everything fits there one way or the other.

I could count the flaws on this sign on more than one hand. Another Oklahoma special:

Oklahoma does have a knack for creating some of the worst signs I've ever seen.

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot... and I didn't have to search extensively: I was reading an old thread and clicked on a random street view. I was curious at how the toll booths looked like and found this. There are others at other boots, by the way.

[CoreySamson]

I don't know how this sign got past TxDot quality control:

https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0374459,-96.7045866,3a,15y,56.83h,116.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTtHt_B0fN2RSqna3mqBspQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Not only is the font size different on the 7 and 5, but it's also different on the extraneous U and S! Not to mention there's a lot of kerning issues plus the font isn't right (plus is the "north" Clearview?). Truly an ugly sign. And strangely enough, the westbound sign looks fine.

[Big John]

^^ The font is Helvetica.

That one has to be a City of Plano sign. They cant even make standard regulatory signs look right

[1995hoo]

You'll find this immediately north of the border at the exit from the duty-free shop where Autoroute 15 becomes I-87. (The border is where the fence is.) It's unclear who commissioned this sign. Quebec usually has pretty good Interstate shields on their BGSs, which makes me think this sign was commissioned by whoever runs the duty-free. If that's the case, maybe they get a pass.

Spaces? Who needs them.

[Rothman]

Spaces? Who needs them.

Wonder if that was done deliberately to match a business name.

[bcroadguy]

That was my first thought also, but nope. If you go down both streets you’ll see other signs with spaces.

[Scott5114]

That's also Frutiger and not a real road sign font.

Hell just be glad NCDOT actually used decent sized blades there. Because a lot of theirs... NO (if they even bother to install some at all).

[kphoger]

New Mexico is easy pickins...

1.  Uneven posts.
2.  3/4 error.
3.  Arrow slapped on wherever it fit.
4.  Who needs a route shield and plaque, when all text on a green sign will do?

Anything else I'm missing?
