I also found these guys in Madison County, AL just outside of Huntsville back in November, but forgot to post them:

And in similar vain, apparently Jackson County, AL was to embarrassed by CR 591 for some reason and removed their name from this shield:

Either that, or maybe a part of Jackson County was trying to separate and form their own county.

This "Divided Highway" sign, posted leaving the parking lot from an Incredible Universe a Fry's Electronics in Wilsonville, Oregon, is a bit misleading (at least in my opinion). Here's a Maps link...tell me what you think: https://goo.gl/V0gDNj

Standard:
On unsignalized minor-street approaches from which both left turns and right turns are permitted onto a divided highway that has a median width at the intersection itself of 30 feet or more ... a Divided Highway Crossing (R6-3 or R6-3a) sign [the sign in jakeroot's picture] shall be used to advise road users that they are approaching an intersection with a divided highway.

That's definitely not 30 feet, so...

I think some of the county names are removed because the sign is only used for emergency/911 purposes; I have seen a few from nearby De Kalb County which also remove or block the words.

I forgot I took this picture about a month ago, and just now remembered it: another display of weird Iowan street blades, this time in rural Cherokee County at the junction of IA-3 and 7

These arrows.

I'm pretty sure that this is not the correct color scheme for regulatory signage.

Saw this odd-looking MA 38 reassurance marker just north of the I-95/MA 128 interchange.

Here's its southern counterpart, south of the interchange.

Even odder is that the supplemental MA 128 trailblazer signage at the interchange are standard MassDOT-issue.  Not sure what the deal is with the above MA 38 installs.

They look like Wisconsin county shields.

I know it's a contractor error, but I like those significantly more than I like Mass's current shields.

They look like modified Wisconsin county highway shields with "MA" in place of "COUNTY".

Did anyone see this stop sign at Wildwood State Park?

Along I-195 eastbound in Providence, RI; one jumbo-sized 2 and arrow to go please.

Its westbound counterpart isn't as obnoxious.

Nice, a rare sighting of Series F out in the wild.

I saw similar object markers on some Google Street View searches of the Northern Rockies while doing research on Interstate Business Routes in that region, but they were white and fluorescent orange, and completely surrounded the directional signs.

Interesting arrows...

The mile marker in that pic... how long have NY been doing that? I haven't been up there in a while

That's a Region 1 thing... and not the current style.  New tenth mile markers in Region 1 use the standard MUTCD marker (the one that's the same size as the one shown, without the shield/direction).

Wow, I hope nobody is riding a tall bike on that sidewalk.  https://goo.gl/maps/tkGjfF2BotM2

This warning sign in Ankeny, IA, out in front of Ashland Ridge Elementary School:



Pretty sure it should instead be a regulatory lane control sign, but instead, they put this up.

Oh ok... that white part at the bottom kinda threw me off

Found this unusual sign on US 64 Business in Columbia NC last weekend.  Something normally associated with boating...

There was one in each direction.  I guess during heavy rains the high street curb pools a lot of water in the road and there are houses and/or yards that get water being pushed over the curb by fast moving vehicles...
