Erroneous road signs

[TBKS1]

Might be a first on the thread, but I encountered a very bizarre signage error on AR 207 in Ouachita, AR (Dallas County) at the intersection of AR 7. It's a bit complicated to explain through photos alone, so I recorded a short video of it.

Ah, a video that gets right to the point.

In reality I could have taken several photos of this and try to explain it that way, but the most recent GSV imagery of this intersection is over 10 years old, and this was a relatively new sign installation anyways. It's much easier to show this error in a video.

I think it is a far worse error to mislabel a highway by a number of what that highway intersects with, near that intersection, than to put in some other number.

So if one were traveling on AR-7, likely they would not turn here.  But if they did, this reassurance would confuse them a hell of a lot more than simply misnumbering the highway like AR-27 or AR-702.

By the way, just want to mention that I sent that video to ArDOT a few days ago and I got a response back earlier today of them basically mentioning that they'll fix the error as soon as possible. The intersection of AR 7/207 is almost a two hour drive away from where I live and I frankly don't see myself going by there again for the foreseeable future, but it should hopefully get fixed very soon.

Should be EAST banner not TO. NJ 33 in Robbinsville, NJ.

Same location, but CR 526 East now concurs with NJ 33 EB on a new Bypass alignment there. So it don't go right here, but bears left with EB NJ 33.

3/8 mile, that's something you don't see every day.

PA has quite a few X/8 mile signs scattered throughout the state.  I see the one on I-81 SB approaching US 11/US 15 regularly.

I think even according to the current fucked-up guidance in the MUTCD, that would be erroneous. Note that the sign is upstream of the beginning of the deceleration lane. (The confusing MUTCD guidance says that anything posted downstream of the gore gets an exit only banner whether or not a lane is exiting there, which is silly, but it's not what's happening here.)

The sign for this exit eastbound is correctly "Exit Only" (as it is over an actual exit-only situation)
Maybe they got those signs "Buy-One-Get-One-Free"?

Maybe.
