You move left to go right, makes perfect sense.

Maybe the sign was imported from Australia😀

Jokes aside, I think only North America uses two-way left turn lanes (i.e. "center turn lane(s)"). Most countries (including Oz) would use crosshatching between the lanes -- you can turn from the crosshatching, but it's not a legally-designated lane for travel.

I was guessing the US Virgin Islands.

You've heard of the Michigan Left?  This is the Michigan Right!

This diagram sign is all wrong. It shows two completely different ramps departing from the main road here, but in fact this here interchange with FL 70 and I-95 has a c/d road that both ramps exit from.

Dickinson, ND has a new business route: Business Loop 94B

^^Probably installed at the same time the new North Dakota marker was installed.

Date stamped from June 2016, as were the other new ND shields in Downtown. Saw these in person earlier this month

No personal photos for either, but there were circle US 29 shields for the detours associated with the Rio Road grade-separated intersection.  (note that the linked photo is from VDOT's Flickr)

Also I saw a PA 322 shield at the linked location this afternoon.  (in Cornwall east of the PA 72 duplex)

EDIT:  Today I saw PA 209 in Tamaqua while clinching roads in PA instead of at some meet in CT.

That's a weird Frankenstein assembly. PennDOT made the South banner with a contractor making the 209 shield. Someone must have stolen the original shield.

This is an old GSV shot, but the sign shown now has an I-86 shield with "TO" an NY 17 shield (Reads "I-86 to NY 17", essentially).  Oy vey.  So many things wrong with that to count.

Kicking myself for not getting a photo.

Passed this walking to work this morning on 19 Street NW between L and M in DC.

What am I missing?  What is the error?

"In sidewalk"? How can a pedestrian be "in" the sidewalk?

If he or she ignored the "CAUTION: Wet Quick-Drying Cement" sign.

Here's a stop sign whose purpose seems to be so you read the DO NOT ENTER right below it?

This busy 6 way intersection was recently proposed to be converted to a roundabout by a developer so it might get fixed soon

There's a similar situation going on here it looks like:

US shields all around coming out of this development road into the intersection at the northern end of PA 33 near Stroudsburg.

Posted in another thread but very appropriate for this one:

Erroneous WEST 129A trailblazer sign near MA 1A/129 juncture (should be marked as EAST 129).

Curve warning fail:


(In actuality, the road does curve to the left after this curve shown)

That's not a fail.

I'm going to try something different for this thread.

I drove from my Baltimore-area home base out to southwestern Pennsylvania today so I could clinch I-68 and get my first non-concurrency portion of I-79. I also tackled U.S. 30 from Caledonia State Park to McConnellsburg (yes, noelbotevera, I drove through Chambersburg and waved hello to you) as well as U.S. 522 from McConnellsburg to Warfordsburg (that's the I-70 merge/split).

So at lunchtime I stopped at the Sheetz off I-79 in Waynesburg. The following signs are from the first exit after Waynesburg. This is the first advance sign:

But then the one-mile warning rearranges the two routes and control points:

Then there's this sign which confirms that the two-mile sign is likely an erroneous one.

I-86 and NY 17 are, of course, the same road.

Ironically, I think both the I-86 and NY 17 arrows are technically correct, as you'll eventually make it to the Southern Tier Expressway in any of those directions.  It's obviously a mistake, but there's that ironic element to it.
