Erroneous road signs

Another City of Hopewell masterpiece.

This is the exact opposite of the "Nothing personnel, kid" meme.

SR 602 on this sign blade should be SR 36. There are quite a few of these errors along VA 36 east of the transition to/from SR 602. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220044934874177&set=a.10220045064317413)

I'm pretty sure we could fill thousands of posts in this thread with errors like these in VA and PA.

What makes this even worse is the fact that it looks like this replaced another sign with the exact same mistake:

I'm impressed, usually when Hopewell replaces a sign, they make the new sign worse somehow.

How can you tell those aren't the exact same sign, not an original and replacement?

Actually, upon further review it does appear to be the same sign.

Interesting. So they basically went back and added "property of the" but still failed to fix the actual error.

I take it back.  Upon further further review, I'm no sure there was enough of a gap to squeeze "PROPERTY OF THE" into.  It does seem to be a replacement.

Phipps Bend Rd is the correct name for the road on the left side of US 11W here.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220075488157990&set=a.10220075698883258)

Functionally the same, I'd argue, as it doesn't really matter which road is considered to be the curvy arrow.

Only if it were an Entering Added Lane sign (W4-6L) as W4-3L means an added lane from the left - but in this case it's doubly erroneous as it's a merge and not an added lane.

Do W4-6L and W4-3L even actually exist in the MUTCD?  I see designs for them, but I see no guidance for them in the actual manual.  All I see are the non-suffixed W4-6 and W4-3.

At any rate, the pertinent part of the MUTCD uses "should" language, not "shall" language, meaning the orientation isn't actually a requirement.

Section 2C.46 — Added Lane Signs (W4-3 and W4-6)

02 — When an Added Lane (W4-3) sign is installed on a major roadway, the symbol should be oriented right or left as appropriate to depict the side from which the entering roadway converges, with the straight arrow representing the major roadway and the curved arrow representing the entering roadway. The sign should be located on the side of the major roadway from which the entering roadway converges.

I am pretty sure that TN 8 should not be signed here.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220089359344761&set=a.10220089517188707)

...so do you not park here or is there 2 hour parking?:

Since following both is possible (by not parking), that is what you must do.

(I-75 SB at GA 120 (Exit 263) in Marietta, GA)(https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10220085799135758&set=a.10220085901258311&notif_id=1712105467491456&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif)



I guess this sign was either put up before the redesignation of GA 120 LOOP into GA 120 or GA 120 ALT or was just replaced in-kind after the fact.

^^ With the font, it was replaced in kind.

These signs were installed last year, but I'm pretty sure this is not Interstate 90, as in the current form, they look like reassurance rather than directional. The signpost is missing both the "TO" banner and an up arrow: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TAYEZ5fwsRuSPp4w8

Although it used to be correct by looking at the only other capture from 2013: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wRZqhb1VKymYFenF8

Photographed this past weekend in Roscommon, MI:  Sbd BL I-75 actually is concurrent with sbd M-18 straight ahead, not concurrent with nbd BL I-75 to the right.



The previous assembly also had it wrong, but differently:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/SaZ2T2cUCo9ufhN16
