7/8

These two exit signs for Kirkman Road in Orlando, FL have very faded I-4 shields (both photos taken northbound this morning).

This I-370 shield is very hard to read (taken on NB I-270 in Gaithersburg, MD)

This scenic route sign has seen better days. This is on Grey CR 13 just north of Grey CR 4 (formerly a King's Highway) just east of Flesherton, ON.

This speed limit sign on GA 5/280 in Marietta has seen better days:

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I thought these were relevant.

This is the route marker on US-169 NB right past the north ramps to/from I-90. Interesting that the digits have survived (mostly) but not the rest!



At one time, this sign was brown. Not anymore...



...but some of the brown is still hiding under the MN-13 marker.

Not as bad but also badly faded:


Is this one still standing? I thought all the Kodachrome US 41 shields were gone...

How am I seeing this Photobucket pic in 2018? Do you have a paid account with them?

Don't quote me on this, but I'm guessing they went back to allowing linking, just now with that stupid watermark.

I'm not even entirely sure why there's an I-4 shield on this sign, so maybe it's actually good that it's unreadable.

About 8-10 years ago, Greenville Township (just west of Appleton, WI) replaced a major percentage of their street name blades with the cheapest ones that they could find (typical of Wisconsin townships - Grrrr....) and now it is getting hard to find ones' way around there due to many/most of them having faded to unreadability.

Where is this located?

Boeing Access Road, south of Seattle

(Go forward and spin around to see another button copy sign, and an arrow pointing down against temporary opposite-direction traffic.)

Given what the sign spells, it was probably vandalized  :-D
