This sign has been replaced since. Used to be near Long Beach.

where is that??  I don't know of any CA-11s left in the wild.  they switched over to I-110 and CA-110 in 1980.

Unfortunately only one of the counties still works.

The pages are still there; for the most part you have to change "highwaymanpacb" to "hywaymn" in each URL for each page to work.

for all the snarking he does about Caltrans errors, he sure makes a lot of them himself ;)

He should donate his CHPW's  :-D

Ask Andy, they are an old publication that the state used to produce. I'm not sure of the acronym meaning (California Highway Public Works?), but the magazines have a lot of old highway photos covering infrastructure, signage, etc.

agentsteel53

oh right, that!  I had not remembered it by acronym.

he definitely needs to cough up his supply ;)

Well, at least Caltrans is conserving their road signs.

Interesting...  :confused:

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is simply the I-64 East signs for when the highway's actually heading west and vice-versa. Not very exciting, I know.  :-/

US71

This one's a bit old, but a classic:


#1: That should be US 270
#2: That should be US 65B
#3: East 270 should be AR 365S  :pan:

Of course, there's this one, as well:



BGS errors are rare, if non-existant, in Arkansas. At least, I've not found any.

it's almost plausible that a branch of US-15 makes it down that far.  US-9, not so much.  Well, then again, US-2 doesn't get much farther south than upstate New York, and US-202 ends in Delaware, so anything is possible.

This is at the end of the I-75 South off-ramp to Business Loop I-75 in Valdosta...the business loop is signed with a state name interstate shield.

FLRoads

Ah, you mean for the virtually dead BL I-75 in Valdosta??  It is scarcely signed along its route, especially on the northern end of the loop.  It pretty much disappears after turning north on US 41 in downtown.  Whether or not it is officially still on the books with GADOT is anyones guess.

Is this pic on the north end of the Business Loop coming from the northbound off ramp off of I-75?

okroads

It is on the north end of the business loop, but the pic is coming from the southbound off-ramp from I-75. I just took this picture on December 27, and it was correctly signed as a business loop on all the BGSs approaching the exit.

Yes, yes, I see that now.  I forgot that this is a loop ramp coming from southbound 75 onto southbound 41.  And I shouldn't have forgotten that since I was just up there in September.  :pan:  But as I said, once off the interstate the BL is not signed very well.  It's a real shame too, as it seems Georgia is letting their Business Loop interstates go by the wayside...

Still, it's a nice looking sign  :nod:

abandoned business loops are a good thing - they lead to forgotten old signs.  there are some lovely old Business Loop 5 shields all over California, including one a few blocks from my house.

The 807 looks like what Oklahoma sometimes uses for US Business or Alt Routes.
