Apparently the NB Lakeshore Drive exit for Irving Park is for US 19. Who knew?

LOL I just drove by that tonight!  It's especially odd because all of the other signs are correct (IL 19), including the one right behind it.

I can confirm that the black and white Interstate 9 shield at exit 29 of the Garden State Parkway north still stands; at least 4 years now, likely longer.  Passed it two days ago.  Will check again around this time in 2012.

Covered wagon shield for Spur 55M in Lancaster County :O

took the photo last October- just now got around to putting it online

Would I-5 shields with E(M) numerals for the legend be considered erroneous? I saw a bunch in Washington today, although I think it looks better than Series D.

You mean like these?







I was going to post all of them, but I'm about 25% of the way through my I-5 reassurance shield photos (which should be just over 50% of the reassurance shields  in the state) and haven't even looked at junctions, so posting all of them would be overload

Suffice to say there are at least 50 of them in the state (or were as of 07 and 08 when I was photographing signs in Washington), so I'm not sure if they could be considered erroneous. E(M) works fine for a single digit route


Quillz

I would agree. I think for a single digit, D is actually too narrow. Quebec Autoroute shields use E(M) legend for single digits, and it works very well.

Seems like regular Series E. Never liked E, E(M) or F in route shields since it looks too angry to me.

Found a third "PA Turnpike 76" style shield the other day in the Pittsburgh area.  This time, it's on Warrendale Bayne Rd going WB just past Northgate Dr.  It's been there for awhile since StreetView has a picture of it.

The other two are at the following locations:
I-79 Exit #78 Southbound offramp
PA-130 @ I-376.

"US 933" street sign in South Bend/Notre Dame, IN

Was US-33.  Could be they simply added a "9", or copied the old sign with the new number.

Spotted today in Delaware, OH: a East US 37 assembly on OH 37 juse east of US 42. Partially obscured by a parking restriction sign. No pic because I was on duty.

Has anyone mentioned the US 315 sign on southbound OH 315 just before the Goodale St exit?
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

Here is one I found along SAND BAR FERRY RD in Beech Island, S.C.



SAND BAR FERRY RD is actually SC 28, NOT SC 302. SILVER BLUFF RD is SC 302.

And Google Maps says it's County 28.

And that is an erroneous mistake on their part. I'm gonna log in and change it.

Good luck.  I've already read stories of people trying to make Google maps more accurate and the morons who oppose them.

Yep, that is true.  Editing in Google Map Maker can be a bitch sometimes (Fight over I-381).

And take a look at the beauty the sign above replaced...
