March 27, 2019: Perfect cubes, i.e. 1, 8, 27, 64, 125...you can put together multiple signs to create some of the larger ones.

Today is a great day for this!  3/27 is a perfect time for this kind of challenge!  (Protip: the superscript 3 is Alt+0179 on Windows computers.)  I was standing either in Ohio or within 500ft of Ohio when I took all three of these pictures:

April 1, 2019:  A photo where there's clearly a burnt out section/bulb on a traffic signal.

The forward arrow is burnt out on the second of the three signal heads on this mast arm on IL-56 westbound.

Edit:  LOL HOLY SHIT the news is doing a live segment of a school bus crash that happened AT THIS VERY intersection just minutes ago.

This may be bending things a little. but downtown Stuttgart, Arkansas the pedestrian signal doesn't work. Burned out? Deactivated?

I-540 near Van Buren, AR


I-540 at Grand ave Ft Smith

Both signs replaced 2013 when ARDOT posted new exit signs.

I'm not even understanding why some of these signs are being replaced.  The old signs look to be in perfect condition, and there seems to be no new information in the new signs.

Everything was replaced/ upgraded in 2013, partially because ARDOT was going to reverse the exit numbering, but later decided not to. Also, the reflective qualities on many of the signs was poor.
