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

Shouldn't that pedestrian sign indicate running, not walking, if the dam fails?

Also shouldn't be walking backwards as the diagram illustrates...

Special evacuation signs for a specific dam with segregation between modes in Carnation/Tolt, WA:

And the vehicle almost appears as if it started out like a regular sedan, but they custom made the back-end to try for a SUV/Station Wagon look.

Speed-walking.

Moon-walking.

Also the pedestrian symbol looks somewhat vertically compressed.

This is one tiny sign...

It's for the multi-use path.  All the signs on it are similarly small, as is usual for such.  For example, here is a similarly sized one near me.

Yuck. This font does not belong on road signs...
SH 35 in Houston @ Bellfort
35 has several signs with this nasty font in the area.

Also, a couple miles away in Pearland, there is a rash of these weird SH 35 shields...

Actually, it started out as a pickup, but was custom made as an SUV. It's the original Nissan Pathfinder.

As for pedestrians, I seriously wonder what makes anyone think they have a chance.

I've been holding off on posting this since there's no great Street View of it, but this made me think of it. The bike sign size is for signs ON bike paths, not signs ABOUT bike paths! (That's a tiny bike warning sign next to the normal-size curve warning sign.)

Want a tiny trail sign? Some snowmobile trails around here have ones like this (blurred) STOP sign.

[wanderer2575]

Not an unusual sign, but an unusual location:  This is where the I-275 Metro Bike Trail junctions with the Lower Rouge River Trail in Canton, MI.

^^ is it just me, or is that US 12 sign brand spanking' new?? Looks clean like it just came out of the factory.

Yes, it looks amazingly clean. Aside from the condition of the sign, the bike trail looks like it could serve dual use as a snowmobile trail.

If anything else I'd say at least they're creative. I'm not mad at it but the feds might be if they notice it

I especially think the and is funny. They probably could've omitted it.

If there was ever a time for one of those Texas goalpost sign mounts...

Divider bars between destinations on a mileage sign.

Divider bars between destinations on a mileage sign.

Maryland does this often.

Maryland does this often.

If I recall correctly, Maryland has this "thing" with horizontal lines.

Divider bars between destinations on a mileage sign.

I like!

Divider bars between destinations on a mileage sign.

This type of thing is very common on Utah mileage signs put up more than ~20 years ago.

[Scott5114]

I think it's also MoDOT standard on destination signs (but not mileage signs).

[US71]

I've never figured out what that diamond sign meant (near Lumberton, MS)
