Albert Lea, MN is 154 miles from Brandon, South Dakota. Continue east about 7 miles across the MN state line and all of a sudden Albert Lea is... 155 miles away?

Somebody should grab a pic of this sign on NY 366 in Ithaca and post it on Wikimedia Commons;
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4505381,-76.4504688,3a,75y,246h,93.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVeVYGRvSuraLveNX_hql8Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en&entry=ttu
They already captured a couple of park road signs before this.

If I had only clinched it when I clinched NY 79 at the end of October...

It's called "at home", yet you can't make the parking lot your home. Talk about false information.

Interesting use of the phrase "WAIT FOR YOUR GREEN" on this construction sign in Webbers Falls, OK at the OK 351/US 64 interchange:

Exit 0B. It makes me think of an OBGYN. Plus considering that IDOT on I-24's Western terminus  uses I-57's scheme there instead of using zero, that they would choose I-55's number for the exchange.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Cross posted from the Snoqualmie Pass discussion in the Northwest board.  I noticed in an older Washington State Parks book that there used to be a state park called Hyak Lodge, which was a conference center.  I wondered why it was removed from the parks system so I went there to check it out in 2021.  It used to be housing for the Hyak snow removal crew, but a few years ago it turned into offices for the contractor who built the I-90 widening project east of the pass.  They even left their sign behind.

So long as he is allowed to. My parents have had to tell me to stop, gee I wonder why...
Fictional maps, road signs, video game projects... Visit Shedingtonian's Virtual Dump,

And yes, I'm still studying civil engineering.

A sign that isn't a Tome V standard AFAIK, but I've seen at two separate occasions (and undoubtedly put up by MTQ), a RV crossing:

This unusual Monroe addon on Washington State Route 9 northbound at the junction with US Route 2: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vXcedw8K33kt12gAA

It was added sometime after 2012: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9ygbA8zYSEQfrYWN9

Interestingly, the southbound one does not have that addon: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJ8s3VRuxsM3b7Wa8 Although farther up in the southbound lane, this sign is like this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x5fs1b56QGrUaN6G7 Which matches the addon to the bigger sign in the northbound lane. Although it seems to me that Wenatchee should be on the bottom line.
