Unique, Odd, or Interesting Signs aka The good, the bad, and the ugly

[AABattery]

If I had a guess, prolly for the SMART road, which I wish they'd finish by now so there'd be an exit between 118ABC (which is also a huge interchange) and 128

In the Atlanta area as US 23 SB/GA 155 SB approaches US 29/US 78/GA 8 (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220086636396689&set=a.10220087381215309)

A temporary orange No Passing Zone pennant in a construction zone on US-223 near Addison, MI.  Weird because with the curve and the hill, I think there has always been no passing here.

Passing is permitted:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/jQ9ToxDDqtBc8SyT7 . The angle of the picture probably makes the sign look closer to that curve than it is.

??  The sign is located at the point where the solid yellow "no passing" line begins on the center divide.  Also note the Do Not Pass sign on the right side of the road in your link.

Oh, right, I thought you were mentioning that there wasn't any passing at all coming up to this point.

Heh.  The fog has very specific tastes...

Saw this on NY 259 in Hilton, NY.

                      STATE
                      SPEED
                      LIMIT
                        40

EDIT: This particular speed limit sign is an error and all other speed limit signs on this road are normal.

[Big John]

^^ That's a New York thing to put the jurisdiction type on the speed limit sign.

[hotdogPi]

^^ That's a New York thing to put the jurisdiction type on the speed limit sign.

The state speed limit is 55. Putting "state speed limit" on any other number is incorrect.

[J N Winkler]

AIUI, speed limit signs with a jurisdiction identifier ("State," "City," "Village," etc.) are to be used only to remind motorists of default speed limits--and 40 is not such for New York State.

The Toll Crossing Entrance instead of Freeway Entrance.

The fact is there is no toll on the Bay Bridge to Oakland, so this sign is irrelevant.

Many parking lots in Las Vegas have similar signage.

[mglass87]

I've never seen a no parking sign telling you to turn on your hazard lights:

Something about this just feels wrong:

How many times get you fit "FREE" on a sign?

Hmmm.. not sure how I forgot about that.

Can anyone read these signs at the intersection of NY 30 and Old NY 30 north of Max V. Shaul State Park? This should be the October 2008 view.

I could not.

Anyway, I made another album with some interesting signage on KY 1373 at the Lick Creek Area north of US 460.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220095452977098&set=a.10220095521778818)

There is a cutout version of this:
