US/State mixup shield error signs

[hbelkins]

Switch up error on AR 18 in Jonesboro just west of the new US 78 concurrency (should be AR 463)

Is the image not showing up for anyone else, or is it just me?

Do you have imgur.com blocked?

Nope, and it just loaded. Must have been a glitch in the matrix or something.

US 16 in Marion, VA, again.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220242199005657&set=a.10220242338649148)

A bunch from last month...

Granby, Connecticut:


Massachusetts MA 66:


"MA 202" for US 202






..."MA 20" jumping in, too...


US 5 gets a downgrade in Holyoke:

I found some I-515-related signage on northbound Stephanie St approaching Russell Road near its interchange with I-515/US 93/US 95. This includes a rare instance (for Nevada, at least) of an incorrect shield—in this case, a green sign directing traffic to "US 515".

US/Interstate mixups are rare in and of themselves, so this is quite a find.

Good god that many in one corridor is egregious, except for US 66's return from extinction.

(Guess images do not show unless they are Flickr images?)

That has been there since at least 2016.

For embedding: it needs to be an actual image file, typically ending in .png or .jpg (.svg also loads but those can't be photographs). If you open an image file in a browser, you should get just an image. If it looks like a website where you can navigate from page to page, you don't have the right link.

Google Maps, including Street View, used to allow embedding images with location, orientation, etc. in the URL parameters, but that stopped in 2018 or so (unless the owner of this site pays what a large corporation would be expected to for that type of feature).

I see that NY404 still gets a US404 upgrade now and then. This has been going on for years.

Two in a row on US Route 12 westbound, as apparently US Route 12 was truncated and only exists in Washington State.

Quite past milepost 42, right next to the Cram a Lot Self Storage business: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zwR73VQqVR82LTH29
Past milepost 41, just past the intersection with Forstrom Road: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RAbZzk7aT9CyfDGs8

This intersection in Irondale, AL has many of these.  Its been mentioned several times, but for an error to be made several times is not just a fluke.  How can so many erroneous shields be printed at once?

[WillWeaverRVA]

Oops. (Chesapeake, VA)

[74/171FAN]

I do not remember ever seeing a VA 17 shield before now.

[Sapphuby]

Here's an odd one, "US 401" in Port Stanley, Ontario! (should be ON 401). I guess it's not far from American waters.

This is it. The stupidest mixup of all time. Close the thread, there won't be any shittier ones.

I recall looking at this thread for a bit and seeing a US 30 shield way out in the Virgin Islands. I think it's just a bit worse than that one, since it's supposed to be a VI-30 shield. Oops!

I don't know how this happened.

There have been others...

Nah, that one is understandable since it's a US territory using US-spec signs.

Anyone wishing to visit US 98's eastern terminus and/or Mar-a-Lago will receive a US 80 shield for their troubles:

[Amaury]

This should be US 97A, not WA 97A: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gqjqCV6scMyi4Ka56 This is in Chelan, Washington.

Credit to Jay8G for pointing that out in the Erroneous Road Signs thread, as I never noticed it before.

I just posted that one a few days ago.

I found one on US 431 and Alabama SR 285 today; there's an "AL 431" in place of the US shield. (GSV not updated)



Edit: found it on my dash cam
