Kinda unrelated: I thought California traffic lights were so uniform until I looked around San Francisco / The Bay Area.

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

When two projects use the same posted detour route.  There are A LOT of redundant I-94 and M-10 detour assemblies around downtown Detroit this year.

Looks like RIDOT managed both projects.

What part is redundant?

I guess they REALLY wanted to be sure you know that this is a reservoir of water, and not a reservoir of electric charge or banana pudding.
Bring on the 'fill

I guess they *could* be referencing two different things.
A) Nolin Lake
B) Reservoir

Saved this one from r/IdiotsInCars a while back. Proof that redundancy isn't always effective :)


Off topic, but I recognized this intersection just from the picture. And I've only been through it twice in my whole life, both times last month. And neither of those times did I approach from that direction. Memory is wild!
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

I am thinking this has to do with dust storms, but shouldn't you just stop if there is one?  There is a variable speed limit sign on both sides of the road and they are also not very far spaced apart between the next one and the one before it, if you look around.  Can someone tell me why there are so many variable speed limit signs on this stretch of I-10 outside of Casa Grande, AZ?

4 out of 6 warning signs for the ramp from I-605 N to I-10 E:


The rollover warning signs are also 7 feet large, instead of 3 or 4.

Weird, since at least from eyeballng it, the radii don't seem seem that bad.
