Here's the thread you've all been waiting for: memes related to roads and the forum. Keep them civil so this thing doesn't get locked, mmmkay? I'll start with a tame one inspired by Fictional Highways:

You really don't need to be that old to remember when button copy was everywhere. NYSDOT started their mass replacements in the mid-late 90s, so I remember quite a bit of NY button copy, and Ohio was installing it until the early 2000s. I lived in OH 2003-07 and they were installing (lit) button copy the first year or so I was there.

MA stopped installing it and then, when I was a teenager in the late 1980s/early 1990s, started installing some again on I-91, particularly around West Springfield.

Quote from: Rothman on December 08, 2017, 02:32:25 PMActually, MassDPW stopped doing button-copy signage en masse by the early 70s. There was a brief revival in the mid-80s; mainly the signage along the Southeast Expressway portion of I-93 when it was reconstructed circa 1984-85. For the early 90s, only the I-shields on signs were button-copy.
MA stopped installing it and then, when I was a teenager in the late 1980s/early 1990s, started installing some again on I-91, particularly around West Springfield.
Mass. Pike (I-90) signage, via the Mass. Turnpike Authority, used button-copy through the 90s.

Do they re-use those button copy shields on new signage? Or did DPW and/or MassHighway just have a lot of shields manufactured, with plenty of backstock?
Much of the interstate signage looks remarkably "new" for 15-20 year old signs, while the button copy shields still look pretty good...

Post the worst, most ineptly put together pieces of crap in your state. Not just "oh, it's in Clearview", "wrong type of shield", or "it's a bubble shield" or anything like that. We're talking pure, unadulterated suck here. Stuff that makes you wonder what they were thinking. Stuff that should only result from a night of binge drinking at the sign shop. Like this!

Quote from: formulanone on December 08, 2017, 05:09:10 PMNo, those shields were new-builds for the signage. The reflective red-and-blue backgrounds being the dead give-away.Quote from: PHLBOS on December 08, 2017, 03:11:43 PMFor the early 90s, only the I-shields on signs were button-copy.
Do they re-use those button copy shields on new signage? Or did DPW and/or MassHighway just have a lot of shields manufactured, with plenty of backstock?
Much of the interstate signage looks remarkably "new" for 15-20 year old signs, while the button copy shields still look pretty good...

I've finally got some memes of my own to contribute. It is unlikely that it is the case, but someone correct me if one of my memes is too similar to one that is already done, as I cannot easily go and look back right now as I am posting this on Tapatalk (due to the pictures). Here they are: :D

Lol. That actually reminds me...does anyone here actually parallel park by intentionally bumping the cars around them? My car is small enough that this isn't an issue for me, but I could see someone with a larger car w/o backup sensors or a camera utilising this method. Or anyone trying to park in NYC.

The first dumb SOB that bumps my car while parallel parking is gonna get a dumptruck load of whoop-ass dumped on them.

Lol. That actually reminds me...does anyone here actually parallel park by intentionally bumping the cars around them? My car is small enough that this isn't an issue for me, but I could see someone with a larger car w/o backup sensors or a camera utilising this method. Or anyone trying to park in NYC.
The first dumb SOB that bumps my car while parallel parking is gonna get a dumptruck load of whoop-ass dumped on them.
SOP in New York City is to tap the car in front of/behind you. It's the only way to fit so many cars in and the reason why so many cars have bumper pads. I do love how every ad for those things featuring real license plates uses NY plates.

It's possible they teach it in the City. They definitely don't Upstate (but outside of the Hudson Valley, few places parallel parking is the main parking option). I only know how to do the tap thing because I was taught to parallel park by my grandfather, who spent much of his life in dense parts of Queens and Brooklyn.

I don't know if parallel parking is still part of the Kentucky driver's license road test or not, but it was when I took it. If I had tapped, bumped or otherwise struck a vehicle while parking, I would have automatically failed the test.

That's technically the case in New York, too. But so is pulling onto a street if anybody is visible, responding to waving, hitting a bump, etc.

By the mid-90s, they weren't requiring it as part of the road test in Florida. Apparently all, or most, parallel parking spaces had been converted to diagonal parking.
Me, I wouldn't say I go out of my way to bump cars ahead of/behind me when parallel parking, but I don't sweat it when it happens, either. The way I see it, they put bumpers on cars for a reason.

You could never drive in Seattle without hitting bumps. At best you can miss the potholes big enough to cost you an axle.

I personally wouldn't be too overly hip for either a like or a dislike button (but if I had to choose one, like would be better, as it would show one's appreciation for a post, and dislike buttons would easily start controversy if a person got a very large number of dislikes on their post). I think we're probably fine on this forum with none of those buttons, but that's just me.

Different grids is a very common thing. Seattle has 4 or 5. S.F. has 2. Many of the Central Valley cities along CA 99 and the railroad are aligned with them, and then switch to N-S grids outside of their downtown.

Then you have San Jose, which simply fans out southward from downtown. Meridian Avenue is the closest thing to a strictly N-S route -- but it actually bends slightly SSE near its southern end. Almost as if city planners threw their hands up and uttered "whatever".

One of my favorite examples is the town of Patterson, near SR130's hypothetical terminus between SR33 and I-5. The streets are laid out in a fun radial pattern that only extends about five blocks in each direction before switching to N-S/E-W. Interestingly, the rural roads on the other side of SR33 align with the rail, not cardinal directions.
Perhaps the biggest such city that comes to mind is Fresno.

I don't see the problem.
The TPike was supposed to continue, however ODOT didn't do it, and didn't buy row to do it, and now when we really want it, we can't.
Ooooh... I thought you were complaining about the I-40 shield being rounded at the bottom instead of pointy.

Correct.
Really only allowed in North America, a few states in Australia (left on red), and at like ten intersections in Germany. I'm not aware of any other countries that allow movements on red.
In most countries, slip lanes are usually provided in lieu of permitting turns on red.

It is also really neat how, in the picture, the emoji looks like it fits perfectly inside the traffic signal right there - not to mention it is also the same color as the actual yellow light.

I instantly laughed when I saw it, and whoever made it did a pretty good job (I found it on Facebook, on Worldstar's page of all places lmao).
It's really a challenge when you're in a different region or city and you're not sure just how long the yellow phase lasts.

:eyebrow:
Well, I wasn't expecting people not to get it, so that's not why I said that.
I elaborated on it because I was going into detail about the specific reasons why I found the meme especially impressive.
I tend to do this often in my speech and writing - it's just how I speak sometimes. I could be standing there staring at a brown driveway, and randomly say something like "I love this exposed aggregate concrete" or "I love how this driveway facilitates transportation from the road to the house the way that it does." Yeah, I'm stating the obvious - it doesn't mean I think other people don't know it - I just tend to ramble on and state things everyone already knows, just because I get excited and say more than is really necessary. I apologize if you interpreted that the wrong way.

Well, I do highly value humor and comedy, so I will try my best next time to abstain from over-explaining a joke or a meme in the future. What you have to realize is that this is just the way I naturally operate many times, and also that my intention in that section of my post was not to "ruin the joke" but to get into some of the specific reasons why I loved the meme so much, since I was excited about it and rambling on, as I often do.
I am rather poor at social interaction and communication, and I do not operate like a normal person, so you must understand that my intentions are not malignant, but that I am just rather strange.

Some memes don't lend themselves to explaining the joke; either you know the underpinnings of the joke, or it's incomprehensible. It's my feeling that many memes aren't funny after the third or fourth time; it's the same punchline again and again. But some persist, and some are evergreen. Like slang or jargon, it's become a in-group language in and of itself.
Humor usually derives from distilling Emotion from the combination of the Absurd and the Well-Known, while assuming a little Ignorance to bridge the two. If the audience doesn't wish to apply the Ignorance, or hasn't experienced the Absurd, the joke is likely to fail. If there's a limited body of Well-Known experience to draw on, then nobody knows there's a joke in the first place. The idea of "the joke isn't funny if I explain it" is a failure to comprehend the audience. Yeah, there's a chance you'll still be the only one laughing after explaining it, but such is life...at least they're still listening and appreciating what you have to say. In the worst case scenario, you've removed some ignorance, which isn't really a bad thing.
I have no idea why I'm talking so much about this.

A few dozen road geeks, a few hundred truckers, a few thousand Pennsylvanians would notice, but then pushed back by a few thousand locals who would like it to stay as it is. The rest of the country wouldn't care. No political net gain.

There have to be a few people in nearby towns / cities / hamlets / townships / whateverPENNpeopleCallit that would probably be annoyed by the headline of QUIET SMALL TOWN DESTROYED BY INTERSTATE or "Breezewood is getting an exit, here's what we know so far" (which isn't real journalism).

I'm not sure how Pennsylvania political/municipal subdivisions go, so I'm not sure what the official boundaries of Breezewood are, but there's a small residential area located just to the south of US 30 and west of South Breezewood Road. There are also some residences on US 30 east of the turnpike connector.

I'm not sure what the official boundaries of Breezewood are,
Since Breezewood isn't a municipality, it doesn't really have official boundaries.
Without doing any searching, I don't even know if it has a post office or anything either.

The sign and overpass are on I-95/MA 128 in Massachusetts. The road itself is somewhere in a completely different part of the country; I think we figured that out once, but I can't remember.

Overuse of signs, such as four-way stops when unnecessary, things that should be common sense like "bridge ices before road", etc., so that drivers don't treat the signs seriously.

You can thank the lawyers for stuff like that. Before we can adopt the Geneva Convention for signs, we need to seriously overhaul our legal system.

Is the Geneva road sign convention, in comparison, really less idiot-proof? Seems that we use very similar road signs, with the designs being the major difference.
For example, the UK has a common law legal system (akin to the US, Canada, Australia, NZ) but uses Geneva-style road signs.

But . . .
It wouldn't be pointless if the IDiOTs at IDOT had been a little more cooperative and given us I-55, 57, and/or 65, meaning that I-41 and I-43 would not exist. IMO, I-39 should become I-55, I-41 becomes I-57, and I-43 becomes I-65.

Should have been a 3di.
Pennsylvania's I-476 is the longest 3di at 130 miles. The "non-pointlessly-multiplexed" section of I-41 (from I-43 at Greenfield to I-43 at Green Bay) is 137, and if you add in the Interstate-grade US-41/141 freeway to Abrams, it's over 150. I get that non-multiplexed I-41 terminates at I-43 on both ends, but it meets none of the 3di criteria - it's not a spur, bypass, or beltway.
I respect your opinion, but I would like to hear why you think it should be a 3di.

The sign is saying "no littering", and the fine is $500 if you're caught.
And now I've learned that this sign isn't found in the US.

No littering?? Omg maybe it's because the meme put the idea of canned beans in my head... I thought it was something like... well, like "no hobos" , but more politically correct, obviously.

The meme is designed so that the phrase is mentioned in a sort of "in passing" way, unrelated to anything mentioned before or after it.
It's back in the news because of new information related to his death. Don't want to talk about it too much here because of the politics rule.

The best Epstein meme I've seen involves replacing "We never deny a guest, even with the most ridiculous guest" (the Krusty Towers motto) with "Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself" with a surprisingly accurate Mr. Krabs voice over.

It may have to do with the newer investigations in to Epstein and his death, them being the investigation in the two prison guards that have sense been arrested and Prince Andrew's possible ties to Epstein (who has since "stepped down from royal duties"), as well as the accusations against ABC for supposedly covering the whole thing up. When I see an Epstein meme it is almost always at the end of an otherwise interesting fact.

No, because google does not bring up the first when you do the search.
It took me a minute to figure out that was correct, too.
If you have to explain a meme, then it's a failed attempt. That's why it's easy to come up with 100 mediocre memes but difficult to come up with a great one.

One of the drawbacks of term limits -- no one sticks around long enough to learn jack shit about such matters -- or how not to misinterpret arcane state regulations. They're too busy trying to figure out what their next official capacity will be once their three-and-out is up!

Funny, although even funnier is that the photoshopped image, I believe, is the interchange where the 110 and 105 freeways meet in LA.
The photoshopped image is quite prolific at this point, but I guess my roadgeek humour would have appreciated a photoshopped Texas interchange. Kind of a deep-cut meme at that point, I guess.

I have a Thomas Bros. street atlas and a street guide (a pocket version of the street atlas) of San Francisco, both dated 1953. Despite the many accolades given to them about their cartographic prowness, I have found several omissions on these maps: the Stanley St. extension (built 1952); the Alemaney St. overcrossing to Junipero Serra Blvd. (map pg.14); Pier 50 (Mission Rock) extension (completed 1950); and the cojoining of Piers 30 & 32 (built 1951). I realize this is a site about highways/freeways, but it pays to cross reference with different maps, as they can contradict each other even though they may be of the same area and date.

Not being terribly familiar with Charlotte, I looked this up in GSV. For those like me who don't understand, just before this exit is an interchange between I-277 and US 74, another freeway. Two lanes of I-277 from the left merge in with two lanes of US 74 from the right. If you are coming from I-277, and you want the 12th street exit, you have very little room to make two lane changes.

The credit card number is all over the internet now. Thousands of people will now try to use it; one of them is bound to guess the security code correctly. (It's probably 000, anyway.)
Side note: this card never expires, since 2000 didn't have a month 0.

For some reason, I can't get the image of US 666...now renumbered 491 in the 4 corners states region.

Does your sitting room have an alien, an eyeball, a slice of pie, and a lit stick of dynamite? :-) (these are Easter eggs the artist, Dan Piraro, tends to include in every cartoon)

There has been a rifle or two in the living room in the past but not at present moment. I've been in California the last four years but firearms were far more common site when I lived in Florida and even more so in Arizona.

There is definitely the possibility of at least one of those things in the living room.
It's pretty easy to have three of them at one time. For example, if you have house guests who are an immigrant family, and y'all are having pie for dessert in the living room, then there would be several eyeballs, several slices of pie, and several resident aliens in the room.
A lit stick of dynamite, however, would hopefully be much less common an occurrence.

Considering how much of a creative crafts person my Wife is I'm sure there has been explosive theme decor that I'm just not remembering. I didn't really pay attention to the Halloween theme this year but last year there was a Zombie Rudolph mask (with drooping eye) floating about in the living room.

It's funny, I know a fellow who bought a Tesla and he said one of the things that you don't think of and that becomes apparent only after several months is how you have to take the initiative to clean your windows by hand at home because you won't be using the squeegy at the gas station, so your windows will get filthy if you don't either buy your own squeegy or otherwise clean them by hand.

Does your sitting room have an alien, an eyeball, a slice of pie, and a lit stick of dynamite? :-) (these are Easter eggs the artist, Dan Piraro, tends to include in every cartoon)

Replace "road trip" with "hurricane / winter storm / pandemic onset" and triple the value, and that's me at a grocery store.

Oklahoma's recent FHWA Series installs would mostly look okay if they could find it within themselves to use Series D in shields instead of E(M) and learned what a Type A arrow was.

Yeeeeeep. There's a subtle difference between New Mexico suck and Oklahoma suck I can't quite put my finger on. But they both suck.
Arizona isn't too great either at the moment because it seems like half the signs are in Clearview and half of them are in FHWA Series, which is worse than them all being in Clearview. I can handle Clearview when it's done to the consistency Texas does it, but rolling the random font die on each panel (even different signs for the same interchange!) is extremely annoying.
In contrast, I would rank Nevada's freeway signage somewhere in the top 10, at least going by what I've seen in metro Las Vegas. There are a few weird bugs here and there but they're infrequent enough I don't have a problem with them. Hell, Clark County does a better job than most states do.

ODOT signage is æsthetically garbage, violates norms of both graphic design and traffic control, and hurts your eyes to look at. But it's almost always there, and it's usually complete and mostly correct. ODOT signage sucks, but you can at least navigate with it. NMDOT sometimes can't even manage to clear that simple bar, to the point that it starts to negatively impact navigability. So there's a pretty good argument that NMDOT is worse than ODOT.

Well, by "can't quite put my finger on" I mean, in instances where NMDOT has a sign there that is "correct", it tends to suck in a way that Oklahoma signage doesn't.
Some NMDOT practices I saw that I couldn't imagine Oklahoma doing, but I'm not sure why I can't imagine Oklahoma doing it:
- Two consecutive off ramps to the same frontage road with the same signed exit number
- A gore point sign with the same thin aluminum and square perforated posts as a conventional-road sign, with just the text "EXIT/XXX" and no arrow
- A two-lane pullthru sign with a single arrow pointed directly at the lane line
One thing I can put my finger on is that directional banners appear to be entirely optional in New Mexico, even on Interstates.

The random font thing is something I could say about ISTHA. They don't do Clearview anymore, but a significant number of Clearview signs are still posted.
The cheap exit gore sign thing is totally an IDOT thing. Though at least they remember the arrow, even if it's an ugly arrow.

No, and it hasn't been for years. Des Moines has a school, but that isn't it.

Wow, I haven't heard much about New Mexico on this forum, now I'm hearing that its DOT is worse than OkDOT (I didn't think that was possible)! But, yeah, New Mexico sucks with lots of things, including their control cities. Ugh.
The funny thing is while it's always good fun to make fun of OkDOT, who clearly knows what a good road sign looks like because they accidentally make them from time to time, by the time we had made it through New Mexico the second time, it almost felt bad making fun of NMDOT. Sort of like making fun of a special needs child or something like that. New Mexico has a lot of problems as a state; it's one of the poorest states in the union. Its road sign problems seem like they might be a symptom of some greater trouble beneath the surface.
And NMDOT occasionally does some quirky, charming things, like welcoming you to a DOT district with all the sincerity and flourish of a state line crossing, or accidentally recommissioning US-66 because they seem to have forgotten that it was decommissioned. And some of their errors are just kind of sad, like when they manage to misspell the name of the largest city in the state somehow. (Granted it is a long and complicated name, but you'd think they'd have seen it enough. Maybe if they'd stop signing Santa Rosa and Tucumcari as controls they'd get more practice at typing it out...)

Yes, newly-completed roads in Oklahoma are generally quite good, as long as you don't look at the signs! But the tradeoffs are
- We are a fairly middle-class state, so we have to cut a lot of corners that other states wouldn't (the new I-235/I-44 interchange still has two loop ramps with a c/d road in between)
- It takes an exorbitant amount of time to get projects done because ODOT is not allowed to issue revenue bonds, and so can only work with money doled out to them by the Legislature, which isn't much because our Constitution requires a higher vote threshold in the Legislature to raise taxes than to lower them (the aforementioned interchange took 10 years to build)
- During construction, OkDOT has a penchant for "cattle chute" work zones, and they can be very, very dangerous. It's best to just avoid them entirely unless hitting other cars, Jersey barriers, or both is your idea of a good time. Two-thirds of the accidents I've had have been in OkDOT work zones.

In New Mexico, we had a "is this bridge closed or not?" moment. Decided to go for it, and it was fine (the intent was probably to just close one lane of a two-lane road, but the signage was ambiguous), but you don't get those kind of...erm...thrills in any other state.

I had the pleasure of working in New Mexico for close to three years during past employment. New Mexico is probably a ton ten scenic state, but the Highway inventory is all over the place. Hawaii is really the only state I've been to that even approaches the weirdness and haggard standards of New Mexico. Really New Mexico is virgin territory for anyone in the community looking to document something largely untouched. I wish that I had taken the time to get serious by road photos when I actually worked in New Mexico, I have rarely had occasion to visit this past decade.

What makes Oklahoma highways seem poor is that it's between Kansas and Texas, both of which tend to have good-quality roads (and signage too). Oklahoma might take a while to fix its broken highways, but they do eventually get around to it. As for signage, I'd characterize it more as "quirky" than "awful" (except for that Craig County sign, may it rest in peace and live in infamy). But New Mexico, on the other hand...
Driving in New Mexico is quite a bit like driving in actual Mexico. Its roads are maybe halfway Mexican, in my opinion. Signage tends to be spotty, inconsistent, and often unhelpful–all hallmarks of Mexican signage. Pavement quality tends to be bumpy, conditions tend to be dusty, and speed limits tend to be under-posted and/or overly cautious and/or seemingly random–all hallmarks of Mexican highways. You might get a wide, divided, four-lane highway; you might get a decent two-lane highway with shoulders; you might get a narrow shoulder-less mess of patchwork and crumbling asphalt; who know till you get there!

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to know what the average person thinks when they see a sign like that. I'd imagine quite confused. Also, I wouldn't mind if we had those in Illinois for when you leave the clutches of IDOT District 1.
Speaking of Illinois, it's funny that you say OK is a "middle-class" state that leaves things like loop ramps and C/D roads, and yet there's plenty of examples of just that from Illinois, a supposedly not middle-class state. I know we're all aware of the budgetary shortfalls of IDOT, but we have more loop ramps than I could count. The ramps near my office are one example of a newly built C/D road with loop ramps and it's constantly bottlenecks all traffic right there. It's also dangerous. I feel like I'm going to rear-end or get rear-ended by someone almost every time, no matter what time of day it is.
For the record, it's this one here: https://goo.gl/maps/rtanTbbw7Lwp9CDGA (Same one I wrote about regarding the lack of a ramp meter)

Regarding the highway district boundary signs, I can tell you as someone who works for a highway district and is responsible for dealing with complaints from the public that I wish we had such things in Kentucky. Often, we will get communications about issues that should go to another district office. I keep a copy of the other district office numbers near my desk because I have to refer to it often.

We get some new things, but usually in very small doses. And even in reconstructions, the old configuration is put right back. No DDIs or SPUIs on the Tri-State. No D1 FYAs, even on brand-new signals. I can think of only 3 roundabouts near me, only 1 of which is IDOT.

Add Wisconsin to the list. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.5897933,-88.0472462,17z
I used to take this exit on my way home from work. If you zoom out, there are two more as you head west. So yeah, I would drive through five roundabounts in about one and a half miles. It sounds ridiculous, but honestly they aren't difficult to manage or anything.
It's like WISDOT went gaga over roundabouts when they upgraded US 41 to interstate status. I had to go through this mess (https://www.google.com/maps/@44.5394047,-88.0764896,1556m/data=!3m1!1e3) just a few miles south of Lineville when visiting my brother. I like roundabouts generally, but I got completely turned around trying to navigate this from NB I-41 to WB CTH RK in the rain after dark (that's six roundabouts in about a half mile). Fortunately, he moved to Albuquerque during the pandemic so I can drive to visit him again and I no longer need to navigate that mess.

Honestly, I'd probably get turned around there without the roundabouts!

I think they have determined that they will no longer do three lane roundabouts due to people getting turned around there.

I guess that one is equivalent to just saying it's best to drive the highest number in whatever category over the speed limit you are going. Like 19 in the 10-20 over or 29 in the 20-30 over, without hitting the next category. But some states include the exact amount over in the fine formula such as $200 + $5 per mph over the limit, so that wouldn't always work.
