Ohio considers US Routes to be State Routes of the same number. In this case, they compromised... :hmmm:

They kind of do, but within that framework this sign should look more like State Route US23.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

They misspelled "federal."  :D

Just think all this would have never happened if they built the darn Triborough Road.

You mean Caltran made the mistake.  Exits do not make mistakes LOL!

That's hilarious. How'd they not notice the missing 'E' in HERE?

What's funnier to me is that my brother works a block west of there. I sent him the picture and he said he'd never noticed it.

I guess it's like how you often miss typos in your own writing because you know what it was meant to say.

either that or its a sign no one looks at or observes. usually those are the people that are halfway/completely in the crosswalk :-D

Did anyone else who drove up US 13 from Hampton Roads to Salisbury Sunday morning notice a couple of VA 13 signs? I did...  :bigass:

In Westminster, Mass., on 2 West just east of where 140 comes in and continues north on 2 West:



A closer shot of the 140 sign:



This isn't 140 North, nor is it 140 at all.  140 North joins 2 at the next exit west, conjoins for a bit going west, then departs at the following exit. 

And just for fun, a little ways east in Leominster, here's a look at the start of a 1,500-mile drive from the exit of the Target parking lot to US 190:

That's a LOOOOONG way to get "to" US 190  :-D

He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker

Decatur, GA - US 278 westbound. The two arrow plaques should be swapped here; 278/10 continue straight through the intersection, with southbound 155 joining from the right. (Not to mention the assembly being located after the relevant intersection; there is a JCT 155 before it, but that's insufficient IMO.)

That seems to be an annoying feature in random major intersections in Georgia; most use the "signs on a cable" method, but there's always a few that place the assembly on the other side of the intersection. That's great if you're the first car in line for a stop light, but it's terrible if you're not entirely sure whether you should have turned left/right or proceeded until you've already passed by it.

Leads to stupid last-second maneuvers, in my opinion (or maybe it's just my driving).

Kansas has the shields post intersection as well at many of their state route junctions.

Carter and I stumbled across this newly installed error yesterday where US 19 leaves I-275 south. It was correct just last week!

And it should be noted this is the final southbound reassurance marker for U.S. 19. The next shield is the END sign.
