PEELED beyond recognition

US 62/US X80 to El Paso and Carlsbad at the southern terminus of NM 7:

Wichita had this until recently, on more than one sign.

I don't remember exactly where I saw it today. (And I'm not going to Google Street View my entire route to find it.) Probably in Ohio.

There was a no U-turn sign. The black U-turn symbol was gone - just a faint outline of where it had been. So from a distance all you could see was a nice bright red circle-and-slash "No".

Speaking of no: whatever black legend was on this sign (probably a truck) is gone:

Yikes, if you check what's there now, those are some ugly repairs. Check out the US shields as well. Black borders a la New Jersey, and a stretched 3DUS shield.

Last I knew, the infamous peeling button-copy 12th Street sign in DC was still there. I haven't been on that road in several months, so I don't know for certain if that sign is still there, but hopefully I can find out tonight en route to the hockey game. Depends on the traffic which way we go when we reach DC.

That sign is sort of a classic, but it's also kind of crazy that it hasn't been replaced as part of DC's widespread sign replacement projects over the past few years.


Edited to add: Too much traffic. Went a different way.

Edited again: It's still there. Traffic leaving the city was slow because hockey and soccer both ended at the same time, so I could take a second to look over in that direction and the missing green on that sign stood out in the dark.

US 54, US 70 and US ? to Cloudcroft along the Alamogordo Relief Route:

US 31 BUS (South Bend) SB/IN 933 SB at IN 23 SB in South Bend, IN.  Signage around here is abnormal and confusing already.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219534120384134&set=a.10219534495353508)

I noticed that right away after they were installed, of course.  However, unlike the forum tincture nazis, I'm on the fence about NJ-style outline squares on guide signs.  It doesn't bother me too much.

The right hand sign has seen better days. The U.S. shield is essentially gone. Surprised the "12" still stands. The round corners of the border are missing, and the Business I-90 shield is pretty decayed. Lot of sun faded patina on that ole boy.

I think those shields are more faded than peeled.

I-283 SB approaching PA 283 and I-76 probably fits this thread better.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10219564628986830&set=a.10218247474178783)

Nearly beyond recognition, on I-66 leaving DC:

That gantry reminds me of that one gantry on I-190 on Grand Island, NY. Both gantries are old and non-standard.

WTH is with that font on the I-190 shield?

I can still see the number, but my eyes must still be decent.
