Erroneous road signs

I elimitanted my voilation. 

I think most of the voilations are from truck trarffic that needs to be elimitanted

Violation and elimination can both be accomplished rectally.

I love how they weren't even competent enough to get all the letters on the paper.

Who are you to qustion such a quality safty porduct!!Some sort of anttenion-seeking vednor?

I'm confused as to how that sign happened. Most monstrosities of that type are made by some management drone in MS Word, which makes the fact that it somehow came out in Helvetica confusing (since Helvetica isn't installed on Windows by default, and most people that are of sufficient stupidity to make that sign can't change the font to anything other than Comic Sans).

As to the font on the Walmart sign: I've seen many a sign in many a Walmart styled in this way, with all-caps and similar font. It may be some type of company standard.

Many moons ago I worked for a discount department store and we had a sign making program where you just filled in the blanks (brand name, compare to price, our price) and it spit out signs in that same font.  There was also a freestyle option that would make one like the one above.

Now the good part.  My wife works for Wal-Mart's home office.  I told her about seeing that thing and she said "well, did you tell someone?"  Yeah, the entire internet

I work at Walmart. There is a decades-old computer system that Walmrt uses to run its registers, the handhelds, etc. Signs like that are made on a function of that system, and that's how they come out of the printer. If your make the lines of wording too long, it will get cut off. You can make up to 7 lines of text, I believe. However, that is no excuse for the misspelled words and almost incomprehensible wording. Me and some of my co-workers got a good chuckle out of that.

That's actually excellent by Alanland sntadrads.

they misspelled "Wam-Lart"; otherwise I see no problem with the sign.  gorgeous font, too, and the choice of adhesive couldn't be lovelier.

It's actually Mal Wart.

On US 22 S in Phillipsburg, NJ

This should say NJ 122



Same error, these should say NJ 173, as the sign in the background in the picture above shows

is NJ-122 old US-122?

[yakra]

Judging by this and this that looks like a negative.

In this photo that is taken along the Texarkana Beltway that is AR 245 in the Natural State and TX 151 Loop in the Lone Star State  it seems to have the wrong route number at this location.  Here the pull through states the through route is SB AR 245, when in fact it is not.  At this interchange, AR 245 ends and then transitions into TX 151 Loop, so it should say TX 151 Loop (plus direction) to Dallas.

In some states, I swear, you need to bring binoculars while driving.

Or you could always pull a Georgia and put the "banner" inside the shield.  Can't read 3" text at highway speed?  Sucks to be you!

[agentsteel53]

the ALT is barely, barely passable as a "because Georgia" laugher.

the "over XX,000 lbs" looks like a manufacturing flaw.  I can't even be sure of the first two digits from that photo.

I think it says "25,000", from the full-size pic I have (which still is a bit of a guess).

[djsinco]

It is likely 26,000 lbs., as that is the minimum gross vehicle weight rating requiring the drive to possess a Commercial Driver License. It is a commonly used cutoff point.

I'm usually pretty ho-hum about the myriad wrong-shield-shape errors.  But.....what's the "most off" of that type of error?  For example, a county road being signed as an Interstate, or vice versa.  State routes and US routes are so similar that I don't find an error between the two all that surprising.  But what are the ones that are really wrong?
