Seems like they were too lazy to get a replacement shield.

The 9 is off-centered, so looks like entire sign was created at one time.

Gatlingburg, TN? This is on the off-ramp from I-40 EB to U.S. 321.

In a short stretch of US 22 EB outside of Phillipsburg, NJ, US 173 is born and US 122 is born again. 
GSV is crummy here, but here goes for 173:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=40.675189,-75.139921&spn=0.000004,0.00327&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=40.675115,-75.140357&panoid=v_wVjOGdWxZDma2IeqFOuw&cbp=12,150.89,,0,6.19
A short distance from these signs, US 122 popped up as well.

Five years later, US 122 still exists towards Alpha and US 173 also still remains.

Nothing on that sign is actually erroneous information, though, is it?

US-58 now exists in Lufkin:

Update on the continuously erroneous/non-current MA 1A guide/through sign along MA 16 in Revere:

Such was replaced a few years ago with a Paddle-style LGS that now features a US 1 shield.  Such is still not correct; but a TO legend could be placed to the left of the US 1 shield would make it correct.

Why does DCR/MassDOT refuse to list the proper route number (MA 16) on this signs?

I was driving around central PA earlier today and found this near Tusseyville:

What even is this? Looks like it's trying to say US-45, but it's not even a correct US route shield. It should, for the record, be PA-45.

An erroneous sign I spotted today: Sainte Genevieve County, MO, Route O at MO-32. A right turn will actually take you to "Weingarten," one word.

Is there a Wine Garden there?

I'm a terrible artist. That said, the sign looks like I tried to draw a US highway shield freehand.

Maybe it's one of those unincorporated communities with an inconsistent/disagreed-upon spelling for its name? Lee vining/Leevining, CA is one example.

Interestingly, this one has appeared over in the "worst-of" thread.

Translate the sign text to German and you get "Vienna Garden". Switch the I and the E (like it's supposed to be) and you get the correct spelling of "Wine" in German.

This should be KEEP LEFT as US 1 & 23 take the left ramp a split 0.5 miles ahead.

This is horrible. 

The keep right sign is to denote staying to the right of a divided highway. It has no place here.

THe upcoming left turn should be denoted with an arrow pointed to the left in some way without the keep right sign.

Here's the weirdest one I've seen: a Left Lane Ends sign was installed upside-down and used instead of an Added Lane sign.

Kelso, WA for anyone interested.

This one is kind of interesting. I'm not sure if it's a "goof". It's not in the MUTCD, so there really is no error being committed in how it was installed, since it was clearly installed this way on purpose. Maybe more unique/odd/interesting? I could see both arguments.

I've seen the inverted "lane ends" diagram used a handful times in this way, but not with any consistent application or location.

I'm quite familiar with this example in Mexico, having driven that stretch of highway eleven times.  However, such a sign does not exist in the SCT manual, so it must simply be an upside-down SP-21 sign.  GSV indicates it was there in 2014 (and even had a twin back then) but was not there in 2009.

In Texas, an I-35 NB sign south of San Antonio mistakenly labels FM 462 as Texas SH 462:

It didn't use to.
