Signs That Lack Context

Ideally, the order would be reversed.

If the order were reversed, would anyone still be confused by the sign?

With just the order reversed and nothing added or subtracted, probably not.

But if the order was reversed and USE or FOLLOW was added before 59 South, then definitely not.

Yeah that would work, Scott.

To directly answer vdeane, if I saw a control city there, I would wonder what happened to the action message. You don't just sign an exit with the highway and control, it needs the distance to the exit, or an arrow if the sign is at the exit.

Exactly.  The sign tells you information but why it's telling you it is left out.

I wonder why this "pass" is even signed by WSDOT

I wonder where there's any place in Wisconsin that is only 47 feet above sea level. Or 47 meters, if they went metric.  Lake Michigan is 580 feet, and I'd guess the Mississippi River in the sw corner of the state is somewhere around the same.

WSDOT is Washington State, not Wisconsin.
