At least, you would have been able to clinch I-76, I-77 and I-277 the last time I visited Akron in July 2023.

Here's one I came across on this weekend's drive:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/Hhz1s19jzpGavX5T6 (approaching south end of CA 43)

Top to bottom:  black-on-white double arrow (<-->), black-on-white "EAST", white-on-green CA 119 shield.

Here we see a double-arrow used with a single direction, using black-on-white placards with a CA state route shield, and an unusual ordering of sign elements.

This part of CA 119 was US 399 until 1964, but these placards look quite recent (including a larger E in EAST), so that can't explain the black-on-white placards.

Also, is it proper to use that double-arrow when the intersection has a roundabout?  (The roundabout is a recent change.)

This has been there for years. I think someone in the Petersburg public works department is red-green colorblind, because recently this one was also replaced with one that was installed upside-down.

If you follow the SR 731 arrow, you will drive straight onto I-295 if you can plow through the bushes.... (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219696286558187&set=a.10219696357719966)   :banghead: :spin:

Found an error on my way back home, QC 170 is signed as going EST (eastbound) when it should be OUEST (westbound).

On US 360 BUS WB at VA 156 SB/VA 638 NB? (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219790353189794&set=a.10219791255612354)



VA 197 is supposed to end heading eastbound here at US 1/US 301, but Richmond thinks that VA 197 continues and that US 1/US 301 may not technically be here.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219799312373768&set=a.10219799429736702)





I did not know that US 158 WB went to Yanceville, NC.  I thought it was Yanceyville, NC. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219773808536188&set=a.10219774726079126)



SR 602 on the River Rd street blade should match the shield and state SR 1107.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219784837131896&set=a.10219785162300025)



VA 3 BUS WB turns right up ahead from US 360 WB not EB  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219786442892039&set=a.10219786613056293)



The second sign is an error as SR 681 is truly W Hundred Rd if you turn right here.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219791158569928&set=a.10219791255612354)





SR 619 on the Old Happy Hill Rd sign should be SR 4964.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219793016176367&set=a.10219794100283469)

Apiary Rd/Old Rainier Rd - missing a TO, US-30 hasn't been here for many decades.

Delaware has a bunch of signs now that lack the "TO".  It seems to have become the new norm here.

Considering the idea of TO (well, VERS) is completely nonexistent here in Québec, I don't think I mind this. After all, you do end up on that highway eventually, no?

On VA 156 SB at SR 616 (Laurel Spring Rd) around 2010, if you turned left, you would drive into a cornfield.  SR 616 has a short implied concurrency with VA 156 to Pole Run Rd up ahead where SR 616 turns left. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219861980300427&set=a.10216218268569911)

Not sure if this has been posted before but there used to be a turn lane here onto a side street that allowed traffic from WB State Road 24 to go to EB State Road 226, hence the sign. In 2018 they removed it for additional left turn lane space for the traffic signal to the east on State Road 24 but kept the sign up for a nonexistent turn.

They just need to move it back to North-South ...er, Gale Lemerand Drive. I used that old cut-thru on Shealy dozens of times to get onto SW 16th Avenue.

I'm surprised they didn't do that, although I think a whole 10 other UF students know and care that SW 16th is a state road. I've used that cut several times going from SW 16th to Gale Lemerand. The fun part is trying to catch a glimpse of the Gale Lemerand and Archer traffic light on 16th before you hit Shealy and gauge if it's faster to go through the light on Gale Lemerand or go right on Archer and make a left at the arrow since all the commuter traffic entering UF gives the arrow a long runtime.

This part of Goldenrod Road in Orlando is not FL 551.  FL 551is technically Old Goldenrod Road one block away that stems only north from FL 15 here.

An erroneous SR 23 shield was previously posted along SR 369 (Jesse Jewell Parkway) east ahead of the diamond interchange with Interstate 985. 10/15/2001

Where are the "TO" Banners?  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219891941369435&set=a.10219892151334684)



(https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219891971490188&set=a.10219892151334684) (PA 307 is the next interchange heading south.)



On I-95 NB south of Wagner Rd.  The sign should state Exit 48B instead of Exit 46B.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219917660052386&set=a.10219917684252991)

GA 37 is not only to the left as the ground shields say.

The overheads are correct to say its both left and straight as a concurrency begins ahead.

I think someone turned the arrow left on Eisenhower Blvd NB here.  Who would go left to get to I-81? (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219934461432410&set=a.10219934523073951)

That's bizarre.  What's strange is if you take the hard left, it looks like there are proper directional trailblazers for other routes at the next intersection, but I can't see where they were going with this one.

Back to true errors, Exit 29B is gone.  The exit for PA 61 from I-78/US 22 is just Exit 29 now. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219947224871488&set=a.10219947253192196)

Just spotted this error at the DDI on I-95 just north of Savannah, GA.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.
