The actual Worst of Road Signs

[formulanone]

On my last trip to Cullman last month, it appeared those shields, banners, and arrows have been replaced with those with standard fonts. But the street blades on top remained.

Good to hear. That was some absolutely rotten sine salad. But it sounds like they couldn't help but reuse the garnish.

Are the two rightmost arrows still obstructed by that bush?

I'm happy to hear those shields were put out of their misery.

I don't remember that to be honest.

There were still a lot of signs in the area using that Franklin Gothic (?) font for speed limits and street blades.

You mean our misery.

Those shields were ugly enough to be able to feel miserable.

Why you don't try to dictate a sign legend from a departing train. "Make me a sign for Southwest Blvd"

Someone's definitely taking the piss when they flip letters like that.

they also swapped the lowercase 'o' in "Southwest" with the capital 'O' in "Osteo"

That one's a more reasonable mistake. But the "d" swap is blatantly obvious. The guys designing and fabricating the signs just have little pride in their work.

They were obviously looking at a Best Products logo in a mirror right before they made that sign.

That has to have been extensively patched. It cannot have been made like this, right?

[Scott5114]

Well, not patched, per se–that's a classic KDOT demountable copy sign, so they could just pick off any elements they wanted to remove. But the demountable copy signs weren't immune to the 3/4 error either.

[plain]

Even the exit tab sucks.

[Scott5114]

There's nothing wrong with the exit tab.

The 4 is unnecessarily widened.

[Scott5114]

That's a standard Series E(M) 4.

[Jim]

...that's a classic KDOT demountable copy sign...

On some of the others along I-70 this practice is really apparent.  Here's one where the sign elements seem to be working on demounting themselves.  This was the same day, a bit further west.

The 8 is smaller and either the 4 looks a bit too far to the right or the 8 is not centered.

Are you tolbs17 under a different username?  Nobody traveling at 70+ mph is going to care about or even notice that.  It's hardly the worst of road signs.

Almost no one is going to care about most of the signs posted on here.

Obligatory comment about how WaKeeney sounds like a Waluigi version of an hypothetical Keeney.
