Oh, man, I love this one. Go back and check out the house where the people are standing about, presumably lauding the multitude of entertainment and employment options their municipality has blessed them with.
Anyway, notice the air conditioner protruding from the front door, propped up by a board and a tire. Maybe the tire is just a door stop or something -- whatever works, it doesn't matter. I applaud their resourcefulness and ingenuity. Hey, the back door still works, right?
This scene, in my opinion, should be added to the definition of "awesome".

Here's a Street View driver blatantly breaking traffic laws by driving in a bus lane in Seattle: https://goo.gl/maps/hvQXZ
Note that the lane is for rush hour only, but looking around shows that there's buses on ST route 513, which only runs during rush hour in that direction. Also, there's no cars in the lane and the bus-only sign is lit (https://goo.gl/maps/pe0s2).

I don't think this Streetview driver in Portland, OR got permission to be on the unopened busway on the MAX Orange Line:
https://goo.gl/maps/cRRek
Usually if a transit agency allows this, they'd have a crowd of personnel to greet the car.
I'd love to see Google Streetview coverage of busways, subways and railways eventually. Especially Seattle's, which has a few art installations in tunnels that you normally can't see as well as weird stubs and unused segments (especially when the bus tunnel converts to rail-only).

On many Alaska roads, you'd be stupid to go alone, especially in a car like that. This way, if one breaks down, they can get to a settlement. You'll also see a Google caravan on the Dalton Highway imagery.

I see that it is largely unchanged in the 20 years since I was last in that building.
Check that - I attended a hockey game within the last 10 years where we did some post-game late night urban spelunking and may have ended up in the basement of that building.

In the "not crazy, but notable" column, I've found that Street View includes some hiking trails. I'm referring to step-by-step progressive imagery, not single-point photographs. In Texas, I've found this in the Guadalupe Mountains and Big Bend National Parks and in the Enchanted Rock, Palo Duro Canyon, and Caprock Canyons State Parks.Yep. They've done it in the Grand Canyon too. What Google does is pay some guy to carry the Google Street View camera and related equipment on his back in a backpack: https://www.google.com/maps/streetview/understand/
Here's the view from Guadalupe Peak. It goes further west toward the escarpment. For some reason, part of the trail just below the peak isn't there, but it shows up further down, near the campground trail.

The Big Bend Nat'l Park is my favorite national park that I've visited. I've hiked some of the trails captured on street view. I love hiking in the canyons and seeing all the desert scenery. When I was there in February it appeared that there had been a wildfire of some sort southeast of Panther Junction based on all the burnt up cacti.
The coolest part of the park is that you can cross over into Mexico. I was surprised that my guide from Boquillas that I had back in February remembered me when I came back. It makes me wonder if Boquillas gets very many visitors. I've heard that the BBNP only gets 300K visitors per year and I can imagine that very few of those visitors cross over into Mexico.

Wow. I've been there since the explosion but the before and after is really chilling. 47 people in the "before" buildings died horrific deaths.
There was a cleared part (destroyed in the explosion and fire) and an intact part when I was there in 2014. The intact part was frozen in time, like people were there yesterday. I believe that part had to be demolished anyway because contaminated soil had to be removed to a great depth.

If you want to talk about towns being destroyed, take a look around the southern half of Joplin, Missouri, which was destroyed by a behemoth of a tornado (EF5, as high as the scale goes) in May 2011. At this particular location, GSV shows October 2007 and June 2012. I stopped there on a road trip in May 2012, a year after the storm, to see how the town was rebuilding. I saw scenes a lot like the June 2012 imagery you see on GSV... Look at Oct 2007 and compare it with Jun 2012

I think the most chilling part of this is that the town is gone, yet the railroad remains.

It says "I'm Idaira, I'm 19 months old and I'm dying". Not to mention the little girl, who is currently 3 years old and suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, is still alive agaisnt all odds.
Yeah. I missed it since I use the basic version of Google Maps, and I've gone from near Madrid to Zaragoza without touching A-2 at all in Street View today. The complete version stops working properly on my computer after a few steps in Street View.
Not Street View but in a Google Maps/Earth satellite update in my area, I think I spotted me (the orangeish dot in the center of the screen, may need to turn 3D off):

The date matches the day I did a ride up to Kingwood, NJ and cars in nearby church parking lots indicate that the picture was taken around 9 AM so the timing makes sense (only about 7 miles into my ride). Unfortunately one of my coworkers beat me to an appearance in Google as she, her husband, and daughter were captured in Street View walking around Baltimore during one of their vacations.
Is it just me or does the rail crossing in the 2015 imagery look like a Confederate flag?It's how Australia does their one-piece crossbucks. IDK why.

I noticed that when I was looking around there. I'm thinking that the maintainer manually activated the crossing as well, probably to see if anything on the knocked over signal was working.Also, here's a crossing signal that got knocked over:

The signal cabinet door is open, and the maintainer is walking from there towards the damage ... I would guess he's activated the signal manually and is walking over to assess the damage.

Google Street View car has captured itself speeding while driving down a quiet residential street in Glasgow.
The car appears to exceed the 30mph speed limit on St George's Road to the west of the city thanks to its own photograph of a speedometer reading 37mph shortly before it enters a 20mph zone.

In August 2013 Police Scotland were called after someone spotted what appeared to be a murder on Edinburgh's Giles Street captured by Google Street View, complete with an image of a man holding a pick axe handle standing over an apparently lifeless body.
Upon investigation they found mechanics Dan Thompson and Gary Kerr had staged the grisly scene after recognising the Google car all the way back in August 2012.

I don't think so. Then again, as a European I find the censorship of certain parts Americans do unnecessary, as I believe nudity doesn't necessarily mean pornography (I define the latter as the content that depicts sexual acts). In fact a few years ago we had a TV show were two naked subjects met in a beach. The show was a hit not because of nudity, but because of the ridiculous things they said.

Don't Google Street View cars normally have a ton of Google Maps branding on them? Just saw one today, and it definitely stood out for reasons not including the camera.Yes, but the ones in the link appear to have been the older ones before Google started putting their branding all over the cars. IIRC, they used to just have a magnet that said "Google Maps" or something like that on the sides.

Not just them. Here are some legitimate Street View cars that had just a "Google Maps" label on the sides, though from when they were gathering Street View up through 2010, it appears:Don't Google Street View cars normally have a ton of Google Maps branding on them?

(I'm guessing the driver later died of radiation shortly after)
I found myself walking on the sidewalk. I remembered walking past the car (it was at a stoplight, so it only got one picture of me, my back) so a few weeks ago I looked in that spot and sure enough, there I was. Not going to post it, for obvious privacy reasons.

You can figure out my name from my username
(However, we put ourselves at far more risk by posting pictures of our trips on Facebook, letting people who already know where we live learn firsthand that we're gone for the week.)
Dusting this thread off for an oddity I found today:I've seen that quite a bit elsewhere.
It appears that, this past October, one of the GMSV camera vehicles snagged a tree branch in D.C. which then became lodged/stuck to the camera pole. This was apparently missed by Google's QC folks, as the partially leaf-blocked imagery made it onto GMSV. You can see it starting at 3rd and L NE, heading up 3rd to Florida, then westbound along Florida to New York Ave, then eastbound along New York Ave to 4th St NE.
The start of it from 3rd and L NE here (https://goo.gl/maps/YhYGnCMkC2H2).
It might be a good idea to post screenshots of anything really unusual that you find instead of just a link. Some of the images on previous pages (one of an accident, one of cars driving through flooding) have been taken down.I'm not so sure I want to do that. I saw a dead dog on the side of the road at Northbound Exit 59 on I-15 in Montana.
Also, it's worth noting that Google Street View turns 10 today. I wonder what's the oldest street view image on Google Maps?
Is it just me, or does this seem like a bad idea?

Yesterday, I came across a stoplight east of Syracuse (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0618528,-76.0299278,3a,28.5y,317.7h,100.25t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s4lA3CZAaUbFzl3lJAS-uJQ!2e0) where the Street View car caught both the yellow and red lights lit. I'm not sure if this is due to shutter speed, or the light being an incandescent and fading as the yellow went out.Looks to be that the yellows are incandescent and the red is LED, so the red was already completely on when the yellow light was turning off.

For a real answer, it's because Google's auto-blurring algorithm thinks it is a license plate (most likely) or some other form of "sensitive" information that they blur out in their imagery.
Yep. All you have to do is scoot backward one step from the imagery linked to, and you'll see the directional banner blurred out instead. Not at all crazy. Almost ubiquitous.https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7942335,-82.1666073,3a,37.5y,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOWm1FVrl2dD4RRKiTkMONQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Why is US 301's RIGHT LANE placecard blurred out?For a real answer, it's because Google's auto-blurring algorithm thinks it is a license plate (most likely) or some other form of "sensitive" information that they blur out in their imagery.

I thought this thread was for camera errors, while the other thread was for unusual sights on the road; they were not the same thing.
this thread could very well be used to discuss camera errors.

I agree that unusual sightings belong only in the other thread. However, any posts from this one could very well fit in the other thread.
So I suggest a merge.

Not crazy, but one can figure the Google car, including the camera mast, is shorter than 11 ft 8 in because it fits below the Norfolk Southern/Gregson St overpass (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9991094,-78.9101499,3a,75y,128.5h,101.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sf5Tw7cZModhbf7jZhDjesQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) :sombrero:.

While searching for targets for my great American Street View trip (So far it will include the 11 foot 8 Bridge and I-366 with an speed limit of 85, and it may launch from Hamlin, Maine), I came across this (https://www.google.es/maps/@38.0303192,-78.4946391,3a,22.9y,209.52h,76.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCR8Vpu-Xv9sPh_j_JYHlWg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). Isn't that "JUST Married!" blocking the rear view? Although if both wing mirrors are present then that is a moot point.
I just found out what it really was by going a block north.Hmm. I took a closer look, and I see a crane on the thing too.Recently, I did some NYC Ferry research with GSV, and west of the India Street Ferry Pier in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I saw something sunk beneath the East River.Looks like it's the ferry to me.

Right, that's the erasure. Look for cars on the roads–they look similarly underwater (or underasphalt).

You'll find a sh!tload of blurred houses in Germany as well, because we are so concerned about privacy (unless it's CCTV, selfies from every room in our house, etc), which is also why StreetView is limited to only a few metropolitan areas with imagery that is almost a decade old.
Serious question: how do all these people prevent their houses from being looked at in real life?
Serious question: how do all these people prevent their houses from being looked at in real life?
The internet has an exponentially bigger potential audience, and it's a lot easier to "look at houses", if that interests you, without arousing suspicion. The argument could be made that, if you get your house blurred on Google, then people are curious, and if they live nearby maybe they'll drive by to see what's up. But that might be 5 or 10 people that have now seen your house. Doesn't even touch the billions that could see it online if they wanted to.
I suppose the other question would be: who cares if some random person online can see what the road-facing side of your house looks like? Especially if they have no idea of who you are and/or that you live in that house?
But those billions don't want to–only a very view persons will be interested, if any (assuming they even realize what there is to be interested in). On the other hand, the many fewer people who can see the house in person, for the most part, can see it any time the want–once, or even several times, per day.
But those billions don't want to–only a very view persons will be interested, if any (assuming they even realize what there is to be interested in). On the other hand, the many fewer people who can see the house in person, for the most part, can see it any time the want–once, or even several times, per day.
Adding to the above point: you're likely to feel safe in your own neighborhood, having shared knowledge about the people who live there and being fairly aware of what is and isn't suspicious relative to normal. Online, though, there's a lot more unknowns. You don't know who's looking at what, when they're doing it, and with what motive. Sure, it's usually benign, but you have no way of knowing, tracking, or controlling it if it isn't.
QuoteSo those two points don't go together well. But regardless, the question is just what do these people do to prevent their house from being looked at in real life? I'm not really looking at how safe people feel, because that's something that's probably statistically measurable, independent of feelings.But those billions don't want to–only a very view persons will be interested, if any (assuming they even realize what there is to be interested in).

I think the answer is, they don't try to stop people from looking at it in real life, because they're probably an internet rando that doesn't care about real life as much as whatever's going on in the far and/or extreme corners of the internet. I could be wrong, though.

I suspect in many cases it's the other way around.
That is, they're not worried about you happening to see their house, being curious with what you see, and trying to find out who they are. They're worried about you already knowing information about them (and/or their home/property), possibly from an online presence, from run-ins with the law, from their license plate, etc, and using that to try to track down where they live.

Nope. Sorry. The closest thing to a crazy story was the fact that I was driving one of my brothers and my father to a nearby Rural King, and told my brother about how a GSV image of the 167th Street el station on the 4 train inspired me to take this picture (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:167th_Street_(IRT_Jerome_Avenue_Line)_from_Gerard_Avenue.JPG). One mention of the location and my brother asked why with slight revulsion, and my father laughed at me out of pity.I've also passed a Streetview car and I got captured.

On Royal Brougham Way over the railroad tracks by Safeco Field they took a picture of a bicyclist. The software fuzzed out the center of both bicycle wheels but left the rider's face fully visible. They've since built a bridge over the tracks, and the old imagery is unavailable.

Sure, I've seen hitchhikers, but these guys don't appear to be hitchhiking.
Also, I've never seen hitchhikers with that much luggage, or between exits on the interstate.
There is sizable subset of hitchhikers who walk along the highway instead of standing in one place with their thumb or sign out. One possibility is that these folks are that type of hitchhiker.

I dunno, not doubting that's true, but it seemed like a pretty rare sight to me. Maybe I just haven't been around enough, but around here, walking right down the interstate like that with a dog and those size knapsacks would turn more than a few heads and probably attract the authorities.
Not necessarily crazy like some of the other posts in this thread, but...There were actually some 595 signs up at one point - probably "Future 595" signs. I seem to remember them at one point a long time ago.
StreetView seems to acknowledge the existence of I-595 in MD (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9466898,-76.8196048,3a,75y,107.33h,81.79t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqHXAA0vGJl34GZVmrdoYUg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?hl=en)!
Even if my assumption about police hassle is wrong, it's still possible they figured their chances were better walking down the highway. Drivers might take more pity on travelers who are away from services, and even police officers would be more likely to give them a ride to the county line or whatever.
Well, if you're moving down the highway, you're at least making slow progress, which you aren't if you're staying in one spot waiting for a ride that may never come. With packs that big, they may well have food and supplies to make camp in an area with no services, so not as much of a concern to them.
I guess I wonder if you can really call it "hitchhiking" if you end up - and maybe even plan on - walking more than driving.
If you spend 3½ hours hiking ten miles down the side of the highway, then get a ride that takes only 1½ hours to get you a further 90 miles–I still have a hard time claiming you walked "more than driving". Even though you spent 70% of the time walking, 90% of the distance covered was in someone's car. When you get down to it, there's little difference between standing in one spot for an hour waiting for someone to stop and walking for an hour waiting for someone to stop.
Would somebody really offer a person a ride if they're just walking along normally without their thumb out? I wouldn't.
And even if you do stick your thumb out while walking, as you mentioned doing, it seems unlikely to be as effective as just standing on a corner or an entrance ramp.
I guess if I saw someone walking down the highway with a suitcase in a rural area, I might offer to pick them up. It's definitely something I'd be more inclined to do in the middle of nowhere than in a large city.Not me. My wife always has Forensic Files on or some other similar show, and I'm not interested in being featured next season...
The NY Thruway has signs near the Dunkirk/Fredonia exit stating that there's a correctional facility in the area and don't pick up hitchhikers (or something similar). Couldn't find them quickly but will look more extensively later.Here's one for you on 95 in Connecticut...

To find that sort of information, you have to attack it from a different angle. (Note that attacking Quinadro Hall from a different angle is expressly required by law, but the related fines and punishments vary by a complicated calendar based on astrology, the viscosity of bitumen, and the half-life of hircinium.)
After a little bit of digging, I was able to find confirmation in a list of Goat State Alliance (gas.gov) facilities (https://www.gsa.gov/governmentwide-initiatives/emergency-response/facilities-status-and-information-overview), which of course includes Quindaro Hall.

When I was a kid, I was told it represented Satan's horns.
Never mind the cheap air fare ... take a look at the gasoline prices at the 76 gas station across the street!
One of many reasons I am happy to not live in Los Angeles.
The average cost to drive a car is 59¢ per mile, and most of this is maintenance and depreciation. A $1 increase in gasoline costs results in a 4¢ increase per mile. In addition, this particular station is gouging by about $1.50 per gallon; the average price in LA at the time was in the high $3.xx range.

Judging by how quickly that Escape is blowing by the GSV car, I'm thinking he only snuck in barely after the yellow (maybe like a quarter second or something).
Though I know you're only joking, I would be cautious to assume guilt entirely through Street View, as there typically isn't enough imagery to tell whether someone entered on yellow or not (even in states where you are required to stop on yellow, it's still not illegal per se to enter on yellow).

Right, I saw that (barely after the yellow = after it turned red). 45 feet (about three car lengths) at 40mph (speed limit is 40) means he would have entered about 0.76 seconds after the red light came on. This seems fairly reasonable. Even less time if you consider the possibility that they were travelling in excess of 40mph, although not significantly (0.6 seconds at 50mph).

If the yellow is timed properly, he had enough time to stop.
After all, the GSV vehicle managed to do so.

An address in Antioch, TN, that the FBI searched yesterday, with an RV parked in the yard.
I believe that might be the RV that exploded in Nashville around Christmas time, but I may be wrong.
If you're in the Seattle SR 99 tunnel and you look up, (https://goo.gl/maps/kZwY4c8qB4cvTzjG9) you will see those annoying business and destination symbols that Google imposes on Street View, only you can't get there from here.

I don't think I've ever seen a Krystal's in Texas. The furthest west I think I've seen one was Mississippi.
Is this a common sight at gas stations near you?? :-o
I just texted him about it. He joked that it was their pastor's idea (who was along with them because he's the one who will be using the lumber) to stop there, then he immediately felt guilty for joking like that.

I guess I'm confused. Even if they did stop at that gas station, the Street View is over six years old.
Our friends in Mexico drove to Torreón yesterday to buy some lumber, and I was following their GPS track out of curiosity. Along the way, I found this GSV imagery (https://goo.gl/maps/WsPoDecCuzbPPsMx9). Is this a common sight at gas stations near you?? :-oOh Mexico. It sounds so simple, I just gotta go.

Correctly fixed the link to the original image that was in place back when the original post was made.
I only vaguely remember the OP shot as it was originally. What I remember is not apparent in any of the "fixed" links. It was all whacked-out imagery, which has apparently since been removed or replaced with something else.I see now. Thanks!

It isn't quite the middle of the ocean. It's just off the northern coast of Cuba, and indeed that car has a Cuban license plate.

People being on the correct side of the road is about the only thing that isn't crazy. The guy with the horse sharing the road with regular cars, as jakeroot mentions.

For those of you who use a VPN, let me know if this is normal:
One of the MSOs my company works for has been having trouble with the VPN we use to access their sites. Because of this, we've been using a different VPN access instead. Today, while I was connected to that VPN, Google Maps in Chrome (incognito) thought I was in Maryland Heights, MO. I noticed that my supposed location was several miles north of the MSO's corporate office there, in a retail business district just west of I-270 and Dorsett Road. I called our KC regional manager and had him check his own computer just for kicks, and Google Maps thought he too was in Maryland Heights rather than North Kansas City.
When I disconnected from the VPN, Google Maps went back to thinking I was only about a quarter-mile from where I'm actually sitting.

As for the several miles difference, the company may have servers in a different location than their offices.
In commemoration of the 11th anniversary of this thread (happening tomorrow), I introduce the true gateway to Hell (https://www.google.es/maps/@42.7387734,-0.521508,3a,75y,53.5h,88.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sleLwL0nsYHGISmDU_OAlzA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) :sombrero:.Really? Because that looks like it might be a fun drive.
I'm always amused that people think 666 has anything to do with hell. It's just a number that refers to a person in the book of Revelation. Debate all you want what person it refers to, but Satan isn't a person.
^^ Read the signs.Ahh, yes. I missed that.

I thought it was the "number of the beast"? Not anything to do with satan.

Well, yeah. But the beast in Revelation 13 "rose out of the earth", and everything it's described as doing occurs on earth. The context is not in hell, but on earth. And yet no one thought it was strange for "km 666" to signify "the true gateway to Hell". That's what amuses me.

Satan's a fallen angel. So, I suppose he isn't a person of flesh and blood, but I still think the number pertains to him. I think the number is pretty meaningless, but John said what he did.

Revelation 20:10 says refers to the devil and the beast separately. How can they be the same?
What I don't get is when people freak the hell out over the number 666 occurring either randomly (like if their change is $6.66) or methodically (i.e. it occurs naturally after 665). I had a coworker who was employee number 667, and was processed through human resources as part of a cohort with a dozen employees or so. She said the lady ahead of her in line got badge number 666, got very upset, and demanded that HR assign her a different number. HR refused to do so, because casino badges are controlled documents and they cannot leave an unaccounted-for gap in the numbering sequence, and they also cannot assign two badges to one person. So the woman quit.
Would you have been just as spooked if it was $789.46?

No, because those aren't "unlucky" or "haunted" numbers, I guess.

How can you tell?
Perhaps 789 and 46 are both unlucky but nobody has noticed yet? How could you prove that they were more or less lucky than 666 and 13?

With your co-worker, I still chuckle, but at least it's a little more understandable, in that perhaps she viewed her badge number as a part of her identity. It's one number for to see a number somewhere, it's another thing to be identified by that number. The number of the beast is 666, and her number was 666. I don't know, maybe that's just me always trying to understand where someone else is coming from.

Particularly true in the casino, where you have to write the badge number any time you sign a document, so that the responsible party for a signature is clear even if you have a signature that isn't recognizable as your name. (So for example, I had to sign every document as "Scott Nazelrod 104485".) But, still, it's a pretty silly reason to quit before having even worked a day.
As an aside, my coworker with badge number 667 asked HR if they could claim 666 since it was newly freed up (and she's the sort of person who thought having the number 666 would be pretty cool), but they of course couldn't do that either, for the same reasons they gave for not being able to change 666. If only they had known to swap places in line!

I can't speak to the casino you work for in OK, but I can tell you that the world of gambling is EXTREMELY SUPERSTITIOUS. There is probably no hotel in the entire state of Nevada with a 13th floor. Conversely, in Chinese culture 8 is considered an extermely lucky number and gambling sites that cater to the Chinese (especially Macao) make heavy use of the number 8.
Given that, it is interesting that the casino wouldn't do more to avoid an unlucky number like 666.
Very few skyscrapers have 13th floors in the U.S. That's not solely because of a gambler's superstition.With your co-worker, I still chuckle, but at least it's a little more understandable, in that perhaps she viewed her badge number as a part of her identity.

I don't know if this extends beyond poker players to all gamblers, but poker players will not accept $50 bills when cashing out. I used to run charity poker tournaments, and I made sure all $50 bills were put into the charity's take and not the payouts.
So I made it a game to try to get rid of them before the shift ended so I wouldn't have to do that.
I always thought $50 was a pointless denomination anyway. Bills have virtually no weight. It's not an inconvenience to have to carry $20s and $10s instead of $50s.

I also love $2 bills while traveling for a similar reason. If it's just me buying a small snack, then chances are good my total is between $1 and $2.
Why not stop at a bank somewhere in Texas and have them break the bills for you? (Yes, it's an extra stop, but it would avoid the awkwardness of trying to break a bill at a business that may not have much of an interest in doing so.)
If you crossed at Eagle Pass, there's a casino there you could make change at. But that would probably be even more of a hassle than dealing with the $100s, because that would entail crossing the border and going south for a bit.
Not that it's too hard to spot a counterfeit–every one I've ever seen has been so obvious that anyone with eyeballs would be able to see it...but based on the number of people who said they got the counterfeit from 7-Eleven or something.
I thought about it for a few seconds. I had gotten it from the bank.

.25 [to really be ideal, the quarter would be replaced with a 20c piece, but 25c is also OK]
With a little research, I was able to discover that there were once 500-McKinley, 1000-Cleveland, 5000-Madison, and 10,000-Chase bills. If those should ever come back into circulation, 200 and 2000 notes should as well. Given inflation, there are some good arguments for creating a new $200 bill. Who should be honored to grace its face?
Might be nice to see things that are American that aren't people, like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Grand Canyon, the Great Plains, the Mississippi River, etc..
While we are on the topic of money, ideally each next level of currency should be either 2x or 2.5x the previous level of currency. US does a pretty good job on it:
.05
.10
.25 [to really be ideal, the quarter would be replaced with a 20c piece, but 25c is also OK]
.50
1
2
5
10
20
50
100
That being said, the next sets of currency to be made available should be 200, 500, 1000. $1000 may be too much of a problem for counterfeiting and money laundering.

As a result of the discussion about grade crossings on I-10 in Texas, I found this oddity. Why do these roads exist?

This brings up a burning question. There is a jersey rail on the tracks and even the signal says the tracks are out of service, yet the signal must remain. What's the difference between an abandoned railroad and a railroad that's out of service? We have a line in Austin that is out of service and the rails are pulled up in some places, but some of the signals have stayed and the line is still owned by UP.

Even though they are financially the responsibility of WsDOT, the crossing signal equipment belong to the railroad. The state still needs to pay the railroad to remove them, which drains funds from the Federal crossing safety improvement coffers that is better spent on (surprise!) safety improvements. Also, once the tracks are pulled up, most railroads are reluctant to send signal construction crews off of the operating railroad to deal with stuff like this, even if the funds are authorized by the state. After years of disuse, railroads either sell the property or lose access to their right-of-way/land grants/easements and other folks can pull them down and give them back to the railroad.
Fun fact: the term "right-of-way" on the railroad almost always means ownership of a narrow piece of property, whereas out here in the boonies the term "right-of-way" means that NCDOT has a right to maintain a road through our property. Since we own on both sides of the road we own the property that the road is on, but here in Orange County the deeds show all of our neighbors only owning up to the edge of the right-of-way.

I've had bus commutes across crossings that were marked "Tracks out of service," and the driver stopped for them anyway. I mentioned this on another board, and others said that drivers still have to stop for such crossings, unless marked "exempt". The reasoning is that there could be a misdirected runaway train. On one crossing the driver stopped stopping for the crossing only when the signal faces were turned towards each other. Drivers kept stopping for this crossing (https://goo.gl/maps/NnEXCm1u62jq97Tk9) even though a section was missing on the side away from the main line. I would love to see a train try to cross through here. And drivers stopped at this crossing (https://goo.gl/maps/9Wkh4svzdZB89mgs7), which has since been marked out of service, when it seemed unlikely a train would pass.

Just because you don't see any train, doesn't mean there's no train. Otherwise, why would the lights be flashing? The train can easily just be travelling slower than usual.
The workers are probably inspecting the crossing to make sure the lights/gates/etc. work properly.

No wonder they didn't cover some important routes since 2007: they send two cars to the same residential street!
the rails look quite rusty. if it's active, it's not very active.
Interesting I found this impound of obvious I-37 BGSs nowhere near I-37 (https://goo.gl/maps/b5zpMWd328mqC2Fb8). Some of the exist numbers and overall exits match up with I-37's. I know it's a vendor making these signs, just strange they all (but 1 I saw) are for I-37.

If you scroll a bit you can see a few signs from the Austin area, such as a US-79 for Round Rock, and one way in the back with an I-35 sign and a control city starting "Ho–" (wonder what that is, since Houston would make no sense for I-35).
Also, the US shields on those signs look off.

Or, more likely, the testing of new employees who have never driven the paint truck before.
Usually this is done on a stub of road that doesn't actually connect to anything (old alignment road or frontage road severed by a freeway, stub to unbuilt interchange, etc.) so it's not quite so obvious or disruptive.

Subjective measure sure, but perhaps we can muster something beyond efficiency as “crazy.”
I wouldn't be surprised if imagery starts going up within days rather than weeks at some point, but we'd have no real way of knowing since they only show month and year.

Definitely, I'm wondering the same thing -- and when they'll start showing exact dates!
What's incredible to me is how much data exists with Street View. It wasn't that much when it was a once-every-two-year span, but moving to several times a year or even more than once in the same month is just an immense amount of data.
I really hope that Google maintains the history function with every date well into the future (as opposed to just a single image set from a given year). It will be extremely helpful to be able to look back on 15, 20, or 25+ years of imagery with precise dates. Talk about a roadgeek dream...
Nothing crazy about this at all, but Google happened to capture an image of a hawk perched on a US 301 trailblazer in MD

This (https://goo.gl/maps/JsVEV2FY3NrnxUND7) reminds me of another entry on this thread. At the Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota tristate marker, according to the street blades, both roads have different names in different states. The weird on is the road running north along the Minnesota/North Dakota state line. Depending on which side of the road you are on, the road has a different name.

I’m curious if you know how close to accurate the Minn/SD state boundary is on Google Maps. The marker is shown just off the NW corner, yet the line is shown just off the east edge of the asphalt. But the fact that you can be driving north on a 2 lane road known as 10th Ave in Minn, pull a Ubie and instantly be on 488th Ave in SD seems rather unique. Not quite the same as passing through an intersection and finding the road has a different name. Or approaching a slow moving vehicle on 10th Ave, moving over to 488th Ave to pass, then moving back to 10th Ave. But this assumes that the state line is truly in the middle of the asphalt. If the line is on the edge of the asphalt, I suppose it’s possible to have an address on 10th Ave in Minn, but only be able to access your driveway from 488th Ave in SD.
Is someone handing out some sort of trophy for "Most Mundane North Carolina GSV Link Posted To AARoads" that I'm not aware of?

Presumably they did that because, in the interim, there were plans to reopen the station. Hanging the signs backward is a fairly cheap way of "storing" them if there's a chance they're going to be needed again soonish.

This, of course, is just an artifact of how the photosphere is constructed–it's just a bunch of photos taken from a single point with a normal camera, oriented in such a way that a full 360° view of the place is captured. Then all of the photos are edited together to form a single, somewhat seamless image. Since a normal camera cannot take multiple pictures at the same time, all of the pictures are taken one after the other. Normally, this is not readily apparent, but since there was a timer prominently displayed in multiple areas within view of each other, it became obvious that the photos were captured some time apart.
(This sort of thing would be less obvious with a true Google Street View camera, which has multiple lenses pointing in multiple directions so all of the imagery needed can be captured simultaneously. Photospheres usually do not use such a camera.)By the way, I've reported the problem on Google Issue Tracker, but so far, no one has responded. What, if anything, can or should I do about this?

What surprised me more about this, and maybe this is because I'm not familiar with Texas, but why is there a state-maintained Loop route on a Main St for a town of about 200 people? There's also a plethora of signage for multiple FM roads. In this one tiny town. Seems excessive, is this normal in Texas?

It wasn't the front of the car. I know this, because you can clearly tell the dog was chasing the vehicle. Thus, the dog was actually standing in the middle of the street behind the Google car.

One of my favorite things to do on Street View is look around places that have "clear" 2008 or 2009 imagery (not that blurry stuff most places have), and look at all the cars that are now very rare or were junked under cash-for-clunkers. Or just things that were still semi-common that are now very rare.
Lots of cool cars have been lost to time.

A sign saying the road is closed and some barrels in the way? Better drive around it! And they drove past a sign and barrel to use the ramp on the opposite side of the road as well...
I wonder what's going on there. That road looks to have been completed aside from the final connection for a long while; why didn't they finish and open it? If people weren't saying "not yet opened", I'd actually assume the reverse - that it had been closed for some reason by dumping a pile on earth on it.https://maps.app.goo.gl/eoRxccUzb81FHLQn9https://maps.app.goo.gl/kbCj6gm1jnTD15Pf9

they were not going to let a single stretch of pavement be unimaged.Yet the Magdalen Islands is off limits to them for some reason.
I think they turned around and went back to it from the other side, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a 4-wheeled vehicle driving through or around that. I have to admire their dedication though, they were not going to let a single stretch of pavement be unimaged.
Based on the clouds it seems that some time passed, but not a very long time. There's also a larger than usual physical gap between the photos on either end of the plants, you'd expect there would be one around where the obstruction is but there isn't. And it's definitely a car based on the reflections on passing cars you can see in the other imagery.I think they turned around and went back to it from the other side, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a 4-wheeled vehicle driving through or around that.

Maybe. I'm trying to determine that by the clouds on the horizon, but I can't really tell one way or the other.
