This one's fairly new...



...and so is this, thanks to the major wind we've been having in Richmond over the past couple weeks.



11 was the original exit number for the I-64 EB exit on the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike.

These fine boxes of rocks have popped up along 5 miles or so of I-76 heading into Denver

And for all this time I thought US 76 ended in Chattanooga, TN.

You were wrong.

Don't worry -- I already knew that US/BC 97 was already an impressive route, but I didn't know it was showing I-99 how it was done by jumping to PA as well!

Here's a goof that has been driven by dozens of times but may have gone unnoticed (I didn't notice until I looked at the high res photo just now and I've driven by it several times)- AARoads doesn't mention it in their photo caption of the gantry- this is I-76 WB at I-270. I guess it's just a leftover and not so much an error.

Theoretically, IF C-DOT & the NIMBY's ever do a Northwest extension linking I-70/C-470 to the Northwest Parkway, then upgrade the entire C-470/E-470/NWP loop to interstate standards, then renaming the whole loop as I-470, then upgrade the Boulder Turnpike (US 36) to interstate standards, then consider renaming the Boulder Turnpike a western extension of I-270, THEN the sign is technically correct.

Otherwise, just drop the FUTURE 270 bubble shield and just go with "TO" US-36 West.

Another entry in the "US routes signed as VA state routes" category... Richmond perpetuates the US 33/VA 33 enigma with this sign at VA 161:



VA 33 doesn't begin until about a mile east of this intersection, where US 33 ends along its useless multiplex on US 250. VA 33 goes up Harrison Street, then turns on Leigh Street and heads east (passing a ton more US 33 shields). US 33 needs to be truncated to US 250 already, since Richmond doesn't seem interested in fixing this despite sending me numerous forwarded emails of discussions with VDOT about improving the signage of this oddity - an email in March 2008 had Richmond Public Works telling VDOT it would install begin/end signage for US and VA 33 within 90 days. Two years later...

I spotted this when I was out galavanting around on Saturday. US 202 randomly gets demoted to a state route. :spin:
Other reassurance markers up and down the road from it which were presumably installed in the same project are all correct.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Not sure whether this falls under "Damaged Signs" or Erroneous road signs" so I'll put it here, cause it could be fixed but it hasn't been.
BGS in San Antonio is missing the I-10 shield.

It'd be awesome if you saw it fall in the middle of the night and could recover it. :spin:

Heck yeah, I'd be "protecting" it from getting run over by cars. I think of interstate shields as little metal humans, I care about humans, so why not care about the shield? Haha. :-D

I guess the rivets come loose. That's one of the problems with "demountable" shields that you don't get with ones that are directly applied to the reflective sheeting, but it's easier to replace them without needing a "greenout."


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Spotted this Mississippi 278 error yesterday along the U.S. 45 Alt off-ramp to U.S. 45 & 278.

There actually is an OK-59... it's much farther west, however.

Well, we do have US-163. Why not?  :pan:

I've no idea if it's still there, but I've seen UT 92 signed as US 92.

changed some quoting issues by getting rid of the entire quoted text.

That makes three states with US-92!

Didn't get a photo but saw a US 89 off of US 93 southbound the other day.
