Unique Signs

If there's already a thread for this, I apologize.

What are some unique signs that you've noticed? Those that say the same thing, but are different from the normal signs. I just noticed these unique reassurance shields in Lewis County, Washington:

Heading northbound on Interstate 5, the signs return to normal when the concurrency with US Route 12 ends at Exit 88. Heading southbound on Interstate 5, the signs return to normal after Exit 63. However, on the northbound side, the unique signs don't start until the concurrency with US Route 12 begins at Exit 68.

(On a somewhat off-topic side note, at Exit 68, where the US Route 12 concurrency begins (northbound) and ends (southbound), I'm rather intrigued as to why they designed the Interstate 5 entrance ramp for the southbound lanes as a sharp curve instead of being consistent and keeping it straight like the southbound exit ramp and the northbound entrance and exit ramps.)

The following thread seems to cover that concept: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=11045.0

So since the "Worst of" thread seems to be getting filled with signs that are not "Worst of" I decided to create this. This is for all those interesting, odd, unique, bad (but not worst) and good (but not best) signs. I personally like looking at signs of all types and I think this is a good spot for those that are worth looking at, but not necessarily one of the extremes.

I'll submit one here:

The arrow on this just looks way too long to me. Its almost as if they were trying to justify it with the legend. Thank god they didn't use the full spelling of Marlborough

Yeah, it's literally one of the most popular threads on this site, but it's under "Traffic Control" because–well, I guess because signs control traffic.
