EDIT/ADDITION -- I consider "sine salad" to be an assembly with FIVE (5) or more markers. To me, four or fewer signs doesn't qualify.
(Mods: If you feel the need to move this to the photos/videos area, feel free).
For photos of assemblies with a whole lotta signing going on. Here's three to get started, from my latest Flickr uploads.

And I thought the opening scene of "Sugarland Express" (which fixes on a rather busy set of Texas guide signs as the movie opens) was crazy. If anyone has that DVD, I'd love to see a still of it.

A favorite of mine from Folkston, Georgia. Of course, it's both US 23 and Georgia 23 to the north.

Ahhh! And you nailed a pair of reversed Oh 177s as well! Very good!
Oh wow, I've seen that very same photo before and I never noticed that both 177s were backwards!
Actually, my wife took that picture while on the US 127 yard sale a couple of years ago. But I think I took a picture of the same collection myself once upon a time.
More from some of my wife's efforts to help out with my signgeekery. Georgia is good for serving up sine salad.

The pole is there, but the signs are gone. All that is left is a Clinton St and Airport sign. The building behind the US24 and US 30 East signs is down the street on the left. It is blocked by the parking garage.

If 5 is enough to make a salad, then I believe this is the closest salad to me, here in Amsterdam, New York. Well, as long as either the park sign counts or the I-90/Thruway shields on the street light count toward the total.

This one's notable to me not just for the route marker assembly, but more for the sheer number of various signs at the intersection:

I have photos of those signs as well. The OH 73 signs can come down, since that route has been relocated to a bypass north of town.

They were still there as of the Dayton meet back in the spring, because I went up US 68 to OH 73 to avoid rush hour Cincy traffic.

One of the better examples of a TX version of shin-ay.... http://goo.gl/maps/SNLGu
That's between Seymour and Wichita Falls, where US 82-US 277, US 183-US 283, and FM 1790 all meet.
I'm sure prior to the arrival of I-10, Fort Stockton might have had a good bowl of salad, with US 67, US 285, US 290, and US 385 all meeting in town.
Now, with the Boise City shin-ay missing one big ingredient (US 287, now that it bypasses), the downtown/courthouse/roundabout bowl of US 56, US 64, US 385, US 412, and OK 3 is a bit smaller.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but we saw some very nice Sine Salad entries in Winchester this weekend–mostly cut-outs, too. If anyone's in that area, drive into town on US-522 and bear to the right as you approach Shenandoah University. (Unfortunately Street View image is kind of grainy there.)

Yes. Georgia never cut 23 back from the state line when Florida renumbered theirs to 121 (most likely due to US 23 being extended to Jax). Instead Georgia extended 121 over 23 from Folkston south.
15 is another useless overlap, following 121 all the way from north of Bristol to this intersection, then south with 4 (and the U.S. Routes) to Florida.
4 is the state route number assigned to US 1 south of Augusta, and in other states that use these state numbers for U.S. Routes (including Florida) it would not be signed.
US 23 is also essentially redundant south of Waycross, only leaving US 1 for the last mile in Jax (where it would more logically be a US 1 Biz). According to http://www.us-highways.com/flus.htm#US%2023 there may have been plans to continue US 23 through central Florida.
So of these seven routes, only US 1, US 301, and SR 121 would have been signed in most other states. Yay Georgia.

I was reading about the Clark Bridge between Illinois and Missouri in a blog post by kharvey10 (http://kharvey10.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/idiot-wants-to-screw-the-riverbend-again), and decided to look in the area to see if there was a better way to connect the Clark Bridge to the Berm Highway, and came across this salad (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.885385,-90.173409&spn=0.005737,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.885385,-90.173409&panoid=oMNxRpHkX81tPDIhITwlIA&cbp=12,29.26,,1,-9.56) when I entered Street View. There's another salad closer to the actual intersection (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.8872,-90.17253&spn=0.005771,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.886961,-90.172588&panoid=o6XJHlHanvmJ1Yr3jZ5QJQ&cbp=12,26.48,,1,-9.26), which can be seen in the background of my first link.
As I was positioning the view for the second sign, I noticed that there's chevrons used to denote the end of the road (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.88806,-90.172305&spn=0.005771,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.88803,-90.172315&panoid=kK2hfuVjauzViZx4N0Hv7w&cbp=12,31.41,,0,6.5), which isn't allowed by the MUTCD (http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2c.htm#section2C09_para07):

I was reading about the Clark Bridge between Illinois and Missouri in a blog post by kharvey10 (http://kharvey10.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/idiot-wants-to-screw-the-riverbend-again), and decided to look in the area to see if there was a better way to connect the Clark Bridge to the Berm Highway, and came across this salad (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.885385,-90.173409&spn=0.005737,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.885385,-90.173409&panoid=oMNxRpHkX81tPDIhITwlIA&cbp=12,29.26,,1,-9.56) when I entered Street View. There's another salad closer to the actual intersection (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.8872,-90.17253&spn=0.005771,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.886961,-90.172588&panoid=o6XJHlHanvmJ1Yr3jZ5QJQ&cbp=12,26.48,,1,-9.26), which can be seen in the background of my first link.
As I was positioning the view for the second sign, I noticed that there's chevrons used to denote the end of the road (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.88806,-90.172305&spn=0.005771,0.011362&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.88803,-90.172315&panoid=kK2hfuVjauzViZx4N0Hv7w&cbp=12,31.41,,0,6.5), which isn't allowed by the MUTCD (http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2c.htm#section2C09_para07):Quote from: MUTCD Section 2C.09, Paragraph 7

Ha! Yeah. I remember the first time I crossed that bridge. I had taken an alternate route due to traffic being backed up from a high-speed car chase, then I took a further alternate route due to rush hour traffic. So I was far from my normal route, I was tense from traffic jams, we were down a couple of hours with dark coming on, and then I came upon that nasty sine salad (or perhaps a similar one back then). It took a few seconds to figure out which way I needed to go. Interestingly, it's nearly just as much a challenge figuring out how to get onto the bridge from, say, Washington Avenue just north of there.

According to an article in The New York Times on 1/8/13, NYC is set to do something to simplify "sine salads" like these ("before" on the left, "after" on the right).

I hate this new trend of using lowercase text on things like this. Otherwise though, I do like the emphasis the new signs put on the time limit.
On the whole though, the one on the left looks better, IMHO, and with the exception of the Muni-Meter sign, isn't significantly wordier or harder to understand.
(To quantify, the top sign on the left has 15 words, the one on the right has 13)

That strikes me as missing the point--the problem isn't the layout of the signs, it's that the parking restrictions are so convoluted that they simply can't be conveyed in a short, concise way. Assuming the restrictions themselves can't be simplified (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt), any sign they post is going to have to spell everything out anyway.
Also, there's a weird sorta semantic thing going on with the topmost sign. They changed it from a prohibitive statement ("You may not park, unless you're a commercial vehicle.") to a permissive statement ("You may park if you are a commercial vehicle.") Yes, it means the same thing either way, but if anything, it seems like the new wording is less intuitive.
I spend too much time thinking about these things
Good on them for getting rid of the pointless advertisement, though.

both new signs, but especially the 6-hour, look awkward with left-justified text.
also, while I like the font for "3" and "6", it surely isn't FHWA Highway Gothic. wonder where they pulled that from.
regarding the prohibitive vs. permissive statement - what is the default for parking in NYC? One cannot park unless permitted, or one may park unless prohibited? 99% of the land in the country is permissive (park unless we tell you otherwise), but I wouldn't be surprised if NYC - by virtue of it being so crowded - were one of those cities which starts with a blanket prohibition and then allows certain activities to take place.

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, but it looks like the numbers, as well of the rest of the text, are in Interstate Condensed Bold (http://"http://myfonts.us/td-hDUXGU"). (Compare the "R"--that's certainly not vanilla Series C!)
I'm guessing this was a choice by the graphic artist who made the mock-up for the article rather than anything reflective of actual signage. Someone at The New York Times is more likely to have Interstate on hand than "true" FHWA fonts, after all.

AFAIK, the only blanket rule in NYC is: No curbside parking in Manhattan between 23d and 59th Streets, river to river. All parking in that zone is restricted per posted signs. Outside that zone and in the other boroughs, refer to the posted signs. Every residential area has two or three three-hour time periods each week where the curb must be kept clear for street sweeping.

It was a mock-up made by the city, not by the Times. Another photo which ran with the article had the city transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan, standing in front of those signs at a news conference.

Fair enough.
It does make me wonder why the city would use a commercial typeface for the mockup instead of using the fonts they'll use on the final sign, but I guess expecting the government to make sense is a fool's errand.

Kingman County, Kansas, has some sine salads somewhat like this one but not with as many layers. They typically come at intersections with U.S. 54/400 or K-14 south of Kingman, which are the dividing lines in the E-911 address system. So if you're on the side road, you'll see (in the best rendition I can do without a photograph):
[U.S. HWY 54]

[^ NW 150TH RD]

And from U.S. 54, you see:

what's the point of 210? looks like it's multiplexed with at least one US route throughout its entire existence.
if they wanted a beltway number, why not put the US routes back on the old city alignments?

I actually agree with the AL 210 signing, only because you at least know it forms the ring road to another route. I never noticed a single directional banner for a 210 sign the entire week I was there. Not knowing a lot about the history of the area, I suppose the Business routes are the superfluous ones.
I guess in theory, it's pointless, but it at least serves the purpose of being on "the circle", which is the hub of activity around the city.

I could've sworn I saw a decent (I thought 6 shields) one at the intersection of US-20/26 and I-84 in Caldwell, ID. Unfortunately, Google's street view imagery is outdated (they still have 20/26 as a two lane road, they recently upgraded a section of it there to 6 lanes!), and the most I could find was 4 shields. So either they added more when they added more lanes (very possible) or my memory is bad (less possible; if it was just four signs, I wouldn't have immediately thought of this thread when I saw them!).

Wonder what happened to that 3. Looks pretty crooked.
Anyway, I have my own pic.
It's only 4 signs, but I decided to post it because it has 4 different types of signs.
State route (NY 9B), US route, Interstate, Provincial Route (Quebec Autoroute 15).

Most of this, though, is redundant as the overhead, and each of the two ground assemblies give out the same information.
However take down the overhead and just use the ground shields and it is still overkill for a driver to safely process.

A lot of places do it, especially for ring roads. The Capital Beltway around DC switches a bunch of times: it's E-W between Silver Spring and Potomac, N-S between Potomac and Springfield, and E-W between Springfield and the Potomac, and N-S in PG County, Maryland. It's confusing, and people have gotten lost because of it, but as long as you pay attention to the control cities, you're fine.

It used to mean Internet Cafe, likely still does. The key may point people toward some secure storage facility, Assayer's office, or Jail.

In Nova Scotia, the key sign refers to museums, while the @ sign refers to public-access Internet locations (primarily in libraries).

Some fresh sine salad from SW Toledo, corner of Airport Highway and S. Reynolds Road. Lot's of signage at this intersection - just take a Google spin around and check it out.

And another serving south of the Turnpike at Dussel Drive and Reynolds Road in Maumee.

Hope you aren't too full :)

Although technically not sign salad as the sign bridge is shared by two roadways (look at the jersey barrier between the center lanes), but still it looks like a lot to comprehend. I am sure many drivers get distracted by the other roadway's signs and never get to see their own side of the wall's signs even though right ahead of you1

I know. The Philippine manual copied the national route markers, among other things, from Australia's.

This is gone now, and even if it was still up, it would be incorrect. The plan to route the US highways on New Circle Road and out of downtown Lexington fell through. The US 60 markers on the overheads at Winchester Road and New Circle, which had been removed, have been replaced.

Btw, after lookin at Google Maps, this is located in Concord, NC.

Quote from: cjk374 on November 29, 2014, 09:12:02 AMIt's an implied 'to' - if you're driving a truck on US 29 south and want to go east on 73, you go straight. 'truck route to 73 east' would be more correct but wouldn't fit the salad bowl.

That Carolina assembly has been severely reduced in size, from what I've seen on Street View.
According to the pic I posted, there was a total of 10 signs. As I looked at the assembly on 2014 street view, there is now a total of 8 signs: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.432772,-80.6043116,3a,75y,237.99h,78.75t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sOsjTDJohlBF1QjDeUbr_1A!2e0
I went back in time to find out the latest known time of when the previous assembly stood. The current assembly first stood in the 2012 street view, making the latest known time of the previous assembly standing in 2009, according to the 2009 street view: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.432773,-80.6043111,3a,75y,237.38h,80.71t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sd9nLKf7G2jx3ZO06DnuKTw!2e0
That means it was replaced sometime in between 2009 & 2012.
So apparently this is an older photo I have come across, heh.

It's not the worst mistake though as it does lead you to the highways that are specified. Also, I believe this is one of the few locations where AL 53 is signed while it is duplexed with US 231.Quote from: freebrickproductions on November 28, 2014, 04:22:47 PM

QC 138 is near the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, which I'm guessing is salt water, so I guess it's possible that whales visit that area.

Here is some historic sine salad. Nothing I tried with my photo viewing program made this much easier to see.
There are 9 cutout shields:
Far right: US 29 and US 70 with a single BUSINESS banner
Center (from left to right): US 29 and US 70 with a single BYPASS banner plus a US 52 shield underneath; the 2 cutouts in the middle of this assemblage are likely TO US 64 West and TO US 64 East cutouts; the 2 to the right are US 29 and US 70 with a single BUSINESS banner
Left of the gaggle of cutouts: non-cutouts and also not white border US 29, US 70, and US 52 shields. Above the US 29 shield is an I-85 shield. Cannot tell if the banner says NORTH or TEMP or TEMPORARY.
This interchange was totally destroyed and rebuilt north of here. But you can still access the ramp that is off to the right which is Brian Center Rd leaving Grimes Blvd: https://goo.gl/maps/6DQ4n

Let's see...if i was still with my ex-SO in Toronto, i would piss her off by looking at that assembly and make remarks about "Which way on US 6 do we want? Interstate 401 or Interstate 403?"

Is that helvetica direction sign newer than the FWHA sign or older? I don't know why Ontario uses Helvetica for directions. I think it looks ugly.

This little bit of Sign Salad from Selma, Ala., is among my earliest sign memories.
I always thought it was interested that ALDOT felt compelled to sign mainline U.S. 80, which was relocated to a bypass around the city, as both US 80 and Truck US 80. The old Broad Street alignment carried the Business U.S. 80 designation. Understandable, though, as a means to underscore that most thru trucks simply can't traverse the city by taking Broad Street to the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
I've not been back to Selma in years and never snapped a picture while I was there. This blurry GSV will have to do. The heavily blurred shields are U.S. 80 – bringing to FIVE the total number of U.S. 80 variations on display.

Agreed. I think tho that the worst shield is the US 27 shield because it seems to have spaced out numerals. But the KY 80 shields aren't much better.

I don't get why other states that use circular shields don't use Series D numerals like New Jersey now does. With a bit of font kerning, you can make almost any 2-digit combination fit without problems, and most 3-digits as well (some may be suited for C, however). Delaware and Kentucky struck me as odd for the fact they continuously use Series B/C for their shields instead of D.

Personally, I've always thought C looks better than D in circle shields. But yes, there's no excuse for using B as above.

Delaware and Kentucky struck me as odd for the fact they continuously use Series B/C for their shields instead of D.
What about 1 digit routes? I've always been a series D fan, but I've seen Series E Interstate 5 shields in Washington and California.

Perhaps Indigenous, but I don't think it's Inuit (plus, the language of the Inuit people is known as Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun. There could be more languages there)
Inuktitut is a language that doesn't use the standard alphabet, instead going for a different approach.

If I think I know what you're referring to here, you're looking at the effects of the drum panels. Those drum panels are either triangular (3 options) or square (4 options), and rotate to display whatever is needed. It can't really be flush with the outside panel because it wouldn't have the necessary room to rotate.

Is the top row on the left BGS (the row with the Interstate shields) a bunch of drum panels? It looks to me like those are either 2-sided veneers or some sort of flip-segments (like old analog clock radios).

They are two drums, top and bottom. 1 would be too big to rotate around in the box. Same with the right side.

They're all standard Highway Gothic. It's just different widths. Looks like Series C for all of them (Series D is used mostly today).

These were the standard route signs in use everywhere in North Carolina from the phasing out of cutouts in the 1960s until at least the late 1980s. Although the I-95 shield was fairly new style at that point in time...

I'm also offended by the order of the signs. Reading from left to right, we've got 2 routes turning left, then one angling to the right, then two more turning left, then two turning right, and finally one going straight ahead. To my sensibility, the signs are most readable if the 4 left-turners go on the left, then the straight ahead route (I-95), then the angling-right (301) and finally the two right-turners.

This appears to be here (https://www.google.com/maps/@34.236696,-77.958982,3a,75y,243.85h,77.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scXYVAL3LyR98VzFpWPmJhQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). Strictly speaking it should be "TO" 17 Business, but...well, the ramp is literally right there.

Yes, that is what those numbers mean. The "7" indicates a 1987 or 1997 install, while the "02" indicates a 2002 install. Wyoming only posted one digit through the 80s/90s, and in the late 90s they shifted to two digits (such as 99, 00, 01, 02, etc.). The digit gives a good indication as to age of sign assembly. Wyoming is pretty diligent about replacing signs once they reach 10-15 years of age.

Here is an Italian sine salad. Some months ago a viaduct on A19 autostrada in Sicily collapsed, forcing traffic to do a long detour through local roads. Since local authorities were doing nothing about that, another party built a shortcut. Notice the politician ban on this road :-D.

Not erroneous at all. Clearly it's in a port area - it's simply telling motorists to turn left to access all of these routes.
BTW, the open spot appears to be for a missing US 9 shield: https://goo.gl/maps/hECXn

Yes and yes. This sign is where you exit from the economy lot at Newark Liberty Int'l Airport, which is also near Port Newark-Elizabeth.

Every one of these from this town in AL are just crying out for a (or multiple) BGS. Too much info to soak in--not enough time to process it all. Maybe 3 medium overheads, 1 with all the routes to the left, another with the straight-aheads, and the other with the ones going right.

Though there doesn't appear to be one for that particular approach, many of them are accompanied by overhead signage (https://www.google.com/maps/@31.1882786,-85.4015341,3a,75y,1.66h,91.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8vj1wy6LH-O7gGWhCnjW1g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), albeit with not as much detail.

Louisiana isn't too big on sine salads, but here are a few intersections with multiple routes intersecting.
This is along LA 182 just west of Downtown Houma where LA 311 and LA 312 terminate.

At the east end of the US 79 and US 80 concurrency in Minden, LA. I just realized the 79 and 80 add up to 159 here.

Along LA 1 and Bus. LA 28 in Alexandria just before they cross under I-49. Business US 165 no longer uses this routing, and when it did, the Bus 167 sign really needed a "TO" banner above it as you reach it at the next intersection.

Going the opposite direction we could pretend US 171 South was there. It was probably the original terminus anyway. And it would actually connect it to its parent.

This intersection had the very 1st black & white state shields in the state. IIRC, this assembly dates back to the 90s.

I was going to suggest that if a driver turned left, it would surely lead TO something. Then I realized that would probably be an accident or ticket for going the wrong way on a one way street.
If there had been a second direction on that street, we probably could have gotten that salad up to Alabama-size.

I'm going to assume the DETOUR route is a permanent alternate route, and not one that will go away when some construction is finished. Wrong plaque?

The detour I-10 signs have been there since at least 1999. They are for hazmat based trucks prohibited from using the Wallace Tunnel. They direct trucks across the Cochrane-Africatown Bridge on US 90/98 Truck.

That makes sense. The main question here is the use of the orange DETOUR plaque. My understanding is that orange signs are for temporary situations, and the word DETOUR generally means that the normal route is closed to thru-traffic. The use of an orange DETOUR plaque suggests that I-10 West is temporarily closed. I have enough sense to figure out that because it is mounted on a permanent assembly, that I-10 West is not currently closed. But it is still awkward. A plaque such as ALT or TRUCK would be more appropriate.

Looks like they added the I-20 shields to the thing as an afterthought. No wonder it's top-heavy. Also, judging by the map, the I-20 shields are useless. Looks like it would make more sense to turn around and take LA 149 back to I-20.

These trailblazers are used to help redirect & thin out traffic that takes place after Grambling State Univ. football games. I'm not sure if it helps because most fans of both teams come in from the interstate. This assembly has fallen over after storms with heavy winds a few times in its 15+ year existence.

Google Street View has it still standing as of January 2013. I was within five blocks of that sign four months ago, but chose to take Main Street instead of Veterans Blvd down to Spur-239 so I can't quite verify from personal experience. I don't know why they would have changed it since the Google car last drive by, though. One thing I did notice in Del Rio, though, is that the triplex of 90/277/377 is inconsistently signed through town. That's hardly an unusual occurrence, of course.

Looks like Loop 79 is a true loop, as opposed to a rerouting of an existing route. That would explain why they didn't reroute 90 or 277 onto it.

That arrow on the Cincinnati sign makes no sense. It's the wrong type. The sign is directly over the lane, why use a dancing arrow (which is also against MUTCD, I believe). And the 670 is wrong too :-/
I guess I'm nitpicking though :-P

Sometimes the town or city will name a road after a county road if it's decommissioned and turned back to that jurisdiction. This is in Sheboygan Falls, WI and the odd thing about the road being called "Old County Road PP" is that County PP runs along the entire length of the road so I have no idea why it's called "Old" when the County PP designation is current.

Interesting that Exit 90 splits into two exits ("Exit 90A-A and 90A-B"?).
I wonder how Caltrans would sign that salad. Here's a similar sign bridge from Milpitas, CA for reference (photo courtesy AARoads CA 237 page): https://www.aaroads.com/california/images237/ca-237_eb_exit_009a_03.jpg

The Nashville example reminds me of this one from Shreveport, LA. The double signs seem to be more for information overload. Not really a nice way to put it all on one overhead sign. And like the Briley Pkwy example, the exit splits once you pass the gore.

Here's a small helping from Mississippi, featuring an I-55 trailblazer, a SH 32 mainline shield, and a Scenic Route SH 32 shield. This was taken just east of Oakland, Miss., where Scenic 32 turns off of US 51 and joins mainline 32.
Mississippi's scenic routes are few and far between; they're a bit of a misnomer. Ultimately, they primarily serve to provide access to recreational facilities at Sardis, Enid, and Grenada Dams.

^^ I'm wondering what purpose all those "up" arrows are serving. My understanding is that arrows should be used to indicate some action the driver should take, either at the point of the posting or perhaps a reasonably short distance ahead. In the case of the up arrow, either "go straight ahead here" or "go straight ahead when you reach the next intersection." Since I can't see any intersection ahead, I presume that these are reassurance markers, in which case the arrows are without purpose.

I won't vouch too much for Mississippi's scenic route system, however, yes scenic routes are not always redundant with their parent route. Here is a marker on US 51 where it shares pavement with Scenic 32 north of Mississippi 32. (Those redundant arrows appear here, too. However, I'd say that's pretty rare. Mississippi doesn't usually do this.)
https://goo.gl/maps/GLjzdhAAGKE2
Here is is getting some love on I-55 southbound.
https://goo.gl/maps/KekLRqcfMT92 (The marker at the end of the ramp indicates Scenic Route 32 turns follows Country Road 36 which eventually crossed back over the interstate to US 51 then follows Mississippi 32 – as seen in the original post.)
In the case of Scenic Route 333 it has no parent. It's a loosely held together loop off of I-55 near crossing the Grenada Dam near Grenada.
In this instance, it is co-signed with Mississippi 7 North:

Here's an independent sign just after if turns south off of Mississippi 7 toward the dam:

The new GSP signage in New Jersey has three different interchanges (not consecutive ramps now)all on one sign bridge. I think that the furthest two exits could fit on one panel and be signed like many freeways have their advanced exits all on one line. The top line could read Roselle Park- Union with the number 1 next to it. Then US 22 & NJ 82 with the number 1 1/2 next to it. Heck they could even fit in I-78 the third exit beyond as well and cut out all the extra metal and allow the money saved to go to other things.

I wish there was a picture of the intersection of 1st Avenue and 24th Street North in Birmingham prior to the completion of the Red Mountain Expressway, circa 1969 or 1970. At that time U.S. 11 was routed on 1st Avenue in both directions, and AL-75 North began at this intersection, continuing east of it. U.S. 31 and U.S. 78 were routed on 24th Street in both directions. AL-79 north began at this intersection, heading northward out of downtown, and U.S. 280 began at this intersection, heading south and east out of downtown.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I hope it gets bonus points for a salad that forms a 6-digit palindrome. Superior, Wisconsin, at the southern end of I-535.

This I found in a handout for an MUTCD class I took for my job. The lecturers speaking for the FHWA really wanted to be clear about denouncing excessive amounts of signage leading to information overload. This is the ridiculous example they cited right in the presentation. Congratulations to PennDOT! :pan:

I just dug up a photo of a small salad of my own on U.S. 301 north in Middletown, Delaware. I took this while going through there on July 8, 2016. Again, it's a small salad, probably just lettuce, compared to a lot of the other ones in this thread, since it's just five shields that manage to make up a pretty comprehensive display.

Pretty much anywhere two US routes in Georgia meet guarantee that two more Georgia shields will be added; many two-digit GA routes also piggy-back off other routes for good measure.
Too bad most of their US route shields look misshaped.

ALDOT is using more green unisigns, but this seems a little imbalanced.

THe traffic signal here seems to be problematic. Is it true that the doghouse posted has a right turn arrow on the left side of the doghouse signal?
Seems confusing.

If I had to guess, it's a standard 5-section left turn display that was retrofitted to control a right turn. Definitely not MUTCD-kosher...

This is kind of a diatribe, but if a sign salad is all one big signboard (i.e. a unisign), can we call it a sign pizza?

I like that 415 now has a city attached to it. I think technically Spur 415 has been decomissioned with the state highway turnback program, although it's mainly just the exit ramp and approaches to US 190.

IMO, it seems that a better solution would be a more inclusive BGS (with the TO I-10 and TO I-12 references) for the LA 415 exit. If the TO I-110 reference needs to be there, it could be part of a gantry-mounted BGS for EAST US 190, alongside the LA 415 BGS.

Welcome to Louisiana, where the DOT just isn't that into gantries over non-freeways. (The main reason the I-110 reference is there is because this is the alternate route for I-10. People who are not familiar with the route would try to take I-10 to get to I-110, which would be a mistake.)

That's what I figured. I wasn't about to send LADOTD an email about how their signage treatments could be better... if that's how they do things, oh well. I thought I'd seen something around here about using US 190 as an I-10 ALT before.

Send me the email. I'll probably agree with it. I can print it, put my Louisiana address on it and send it in. I need to give DOTD a piece of my mind anyway.

"Business US 33"? Last time I came through, from 33 itself the business route was simply "Nelsonville Business Route". Has that changed, or is the signage just inconsistent? Also, glad to see on-spec OH route markers, rather than derpy shields like I've seen in town...

That's how Michigan signs alternate detour routes to be used when the freeway is closed or backed up due to accidents or inclement weather.

I used that picture as a quiz on another forum and blanked the shield to make the location less obvious. In reality it says I-65.

That's Iowa-style arrows for you, although standard-style arrows are starting to appear on new sign installations.
Edit: I've even seen intersections that mix them, although not (yet) on the same displays: SB US-65/69 (https://i.imgur.com/JT5lxFq.jpg) and EB IA-92 (https://i.imgur.com/iPTqhC9.jpg)

Just about all Interstate shields here, at least in the Des Moines area, are state-named ones. It's pretty sweet.

Now wait just a cotton-pickin minute...US 65 goes both north and south on the same pavement in the same direction? Talk about a wrong way concurrency. What did I miss? :crazy: :hmmm:

Nah, it's just pointing ahead to the ramp that leads to US-65 NB. That particular display isn't on US-65 itself.

This is the first one I've been able to photograph:
US-6 (E Euclid Ave) WB at I-235 with TO I-35/80 signs in addition, Des Moines, IA, taken today
we don't need to see it again (https://i.imgur.com/XJivE9n.jpg)
What is with those arrows? Is that an Iowa thing or are they really extra hideous?
While those arrows may be a little funky, I *love* those Interstate shields! :nod:
I concur on the shields part, but I guess I'm the only person who likes Iowa arrows... To each his own, I suppose! :clap:
while admittedly nitpicky as all hell, the 3DI shields have the numerals too low for my taste (compare vs the 2DI shields) - makes them look bottom-heavy.

That first one, those streetlight masts reeeeeaaly stick their necks out :cool: while that other one, I'm surprised there isn't garage sale (my grandpa used to call them 'garbage sales' :-D ) or lost animal signs on it for good measure. Wow, that's a bit to take in.

That Chester signage is more than clumsy, and not quite close enough to the intersection, plus aren't those SC shields in need of some kerning? The other one, looks like somebody took some signs/shields and hung them on a clothesline to dry.

TOO much duplication! If they're going to have the overheads, redo the sign (so it'll at least look like a MUTCD/freeway/ish setup) and make the gantry thicker/stronger. If they're going to have eye-level posts, why have the overheads (or vice versa)?

As far as the overheads go, Dothan has them at all US route junctions on the Ross Clark Circle. It seems the DOT wants the main US routes to be posted only on the overheads, but puts the no so important, but needed, routes on the ground mounts. Plus now they added AL 210 the hidden route number for the Circle to be visible which is not needed as all parts of the beltway have a US route number assigned to it, hence US 431 ending at US 231 on the south side of the city.

The "clothesline" of signage is rather common in Georgia.
Just used this thread as an excuse to post two types of routes with the same number, all with different cardinal directions.

Yes and you will see ground mount shields next to them as well. GA will most likely place only the US routes above and post all the routes below especially the state route numbers that are coextensive with the GA US Routes.

Typical for Alabama; they don't use the '61 specs on three-digit US Routes, but '70 spec for 2dus is becoming more common. The wide state route shield design can vary wildly throughout the state.

Although I probably wouldn't consider this one a salad, as they're gantry-mounted and there are only 5 (spread out) shields.

Entree-sized portion of shields, a side of road markers and the proper banner garnish, all on the same serving instrument... looks like a sine salad to me.

Seems to check out OK. The two 231 shields are different designs (one normal, the other the diseased version that INDOT seemed to use for 231 and 421 for a period); the Lincoln byway shield could be nearer the middle with the left/right arrow but instead is all the way to the right, the 64 shield is extra large.....lots going on. Could have been even busier if all on one ground assembly, but that's not how INDOT rolls. INDOT likes the overhead assemblies.

1) No, it's one sign, just noting the different routes. A sign salad would be a separate sign for every route.
2) Yes, it looks like the 7 Bus was an add-on after the sign was installed.

West IIRC.
I'm not sure, as it's an extremely confusing assembly. First of all, everything that isn't I-44 should have a TO banner. You can't actually get to 64 and 40 by turning right there. Turning left takes you only on 44 east to 70 west. Going straight takes you across the river, where you can get on 64/40 going either direction.

I'm guessing that message loading guidelines do not apply here because these are not high-speed roadways, right?
In any event, the signage is extremely complicated and there is too much information to take in if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Using wanderer2575's second picture in that post as an example, stacking US-219, US-250, and WV-92 shields vertically below a North banner and above a left arrow would eliminate four auxiliary signs (two North banners and two arrows). Do the same for SB and there's four more auxiliaries eliminated.
Edit: Crude MS Paint chop job I made to illustrate it, just in case it isn't clear in text. I omitted the US-33 markers for simplicity.

It's how MnDOT does it too, which is why I suggested it:

I'm pretty sure this sort of arrangement is permitted by the MUTCD, so I don't know if some DOTs are just OCD-completion nutters and/or if their standard practices just call for it, but that borderline ridiculous amount of signage in wanderer2575's pic is not really necessary.

The first run of them did have a lighter cleaver. They started bold-facing them later on. I think that it may have to do with the switch from engineer-grade to diamond-grade sheeting.

Probably a little of both; I have to tweak the angle on about 95% of my photos by at least 0.5° or more. Between 2-5° is not uncommon for me.

I'd advocate that the Oklahoma outline should be in a different color, or at least small enough for the numbers to go underneath (approaching Fictional here).

Yeah, in no way am I saying it's perfect. Using a tripod would be the only way to do that, and that'd be way too cumbersome. But the stop-and-get-out method does make it much easier to get it right (or mostly so), plus I think the overall result looks way nicer, which makes it worth the effort IMO.

Before I had sites like this, if I wanted to appreciate wild signage I had to look at pictures in books like this. This is from The Engineer, a Life Magazine book from 1966. The text says that arrays like this are being phased out, but judging from this thread, not so much.
Now thanks to the magic of Google Street View, I can find the current site and see if they did in fact improve the signage. Armed with nothing but the routes in the pictures, and no knowledge of Ohio geography, I found the location. (https://goo.gl/maps/11oNMPvbrGE2) They've placed the directional signs on the intersection itself, eliminating some clutter.

The caption referring to the location as being in "central Ohio" certainly doesn't help if you were to start looking from scratch. No one around the location of that photo would say they are in central Ohio! (Also, the complaints in the text about drivers at 50 or 60 trying to read those signs is funny when they are at an intersection involving roads posted with 35 mph limits visible right in the photo!)

Sounds like the E-W to N-S transition on I-635 in northeast Dallas. Hard to tell; some main lane signs say N-S while some of the exit intersection signs say E-W, and vice versa. It mostly happens in the vicinity of Garland. In north Dallas, and over in Mesquite, no question as to the direction--signs are consistent on the main lanes and cross-streets.

I have a picture of this exact same shitshow. It isn't just the lighting--the backgrounds are actually black.
I imagine that the symbology appears to be floating in the night when it's dark. I'd prefer a color other than black as the background, so you can be sure of the extents of the sign panel. A person driving an oversized vehicle wants to be sure that their vehicle will pass safely around the edge of the sign assembly, and they won't be able to see the sign panel at night and verify that it's safe to pass by it. More importantly though, the black color makes the sign more difficult to notice/read at any time of day. Pretty sure this is not allowed by the MUTCD.

Odd to see that many FMs overlapped on one road like that. Usually, there aren't more than 2, and the overlap is short for the most part. I'm not sure what would be the longest multi-FM overlap in TX.

Officially, that should have TO banners for FM 112 and FM 1624. They end at FM 696 and SL 123 (respectively) rather than multiplexing all the way to US 77.

I'm on AL 22 West, but yeah, it seems absent.
The Truck designations are to keep traffic away from US 80 in downtown Selma, where there's lots of traffic lights and the 1930's-era Edmund Pettus Bridge probably can't take much more weight. But the Truck designations are redundant - it should just have a NO THRU TRUCKS sign and leave off three shields. Alabama isn't shy about just creating a new route number instead of just using an existing number and making a Business or Truck route, though they're not completely unheard of.

Arkansas does that already...sort of. They are lax about posting overlaps (like US 71 along I-49 and I-540)

Zoomed in you can see it is a cutout shield of 431 patched onto the sign.

The oldest available GMSV from Feb 2008 shows it this way then. First guess is they accidentally had a 231 under it.

Small salad, but most things in CT are small:
https://goo.gl/maps/5yVJ2HzDDgxfS5Qe7

This is on a city street (Maple Hill Ave. in Newington, northbound approaching Robbins Ave.). Both were unsigned routes (SR 537, SR 760) many years ago.
The sign is really helpful, especially for a local street, but the follow-up is a bit lacking. Continue north for CT 175, and there won't be a sign when you reach it. Same for turning east to CT 173. You'll have to just know it when you see it. For CT 176, however, the least important of the three, there are CT 176 signs, possibly because Robbins Ave. continues as CT 287.

What's going on with that Exit 17B sign? Is it just peeling in rectangles?

Most of this in Dothan is cause redundancy of two of the same signs on both sides the highway. Ahead before the Waffle House, is a large shield assembly that is placed on both sides with the same exact shields, so that a motorists on either side during a traffic jam at the signal, can see the different routes.
At least here ALDOT has overheads for the US routes, which helps as US 231 turns the corner ahead. However, many in Dothan have been removed and not replaced. So you must read through the many shields to see where your route is. When stopped at the various signals its okay, but when the signal is green and clear of stopped cars, the redundant left and right side shields can create a distraction to read as many won't know they are the same on left as right, and even one shield is way too many.

Haven't we had some discussion before about roads with multiple auxiliary designations? Both routes with two separate numbers and/or designations, like the above, or one route having two designations.
The one closest to me in that latter category is probably Business Alternate US 58 in Norton, Va., but I know that a lot of the posted truck routes in Pennsylvania jacked that number way up.

I think this sign is unnecessarily confusing. In most cases, a mileage sign will occur after a major higway junction, not before.
One sign should have Kirkwood - Windsor - Scranton - NYC (81 south, 86 east) and one sign should have Owego - Elmira - Corning (86 west 17 west).
Since NYC is listed on the upcoming pull-through signage it should be listed in the mileage sign. But all of this should be after the split, not before.

Panning a little bit away from that corner, we see a mistaken freeway sign made by City of Los Angeles for I-110 instead of CA-110. Ordinarily, this would be innocuous, but in this part of town CA 110 is so windy that trucks are not allowed on it, so nobody should be confused that trucks would be allowable (which is implied by the interstate designation).

All kinds of salads at that intersection when you pan around & explore. Near as large as the original, but still....salads!

Too many destinations ≠ sine salad.
- five destinations on one panel = overwhelming, but not sine salad
- 1,131,683,185,631,485,330,861,316,835,123,648,643 shields across three panels = impressively pressing the boundaries of spacetime, but not sine salad
- 5 separate route markers on 5 separate panels = pour some ranch on it cause that's a tasty sine salad

I consider "sine salad" to be an assembly with FIVE (5) or more markers. To me, four or fewer signs doesn't qualify.

I thought about saying something, but I figured with the horizontal rules it could be argued that the sign effectively functions as six panels (although it was fabricated as two). Sort of like the reverse of an incremental BGS that's made up of twenty panels but functions as one sign.

I expect more of these in MO because of its propensity for signing different highways at the same intersection. In this case the duplex, combined with an interatate loop and interstate trailblazer, adds the Italian tomato to the top of the mix.

If it didn't have those airport and turnpike logos, it really doesn't seem that bad.
What bothers me more is putting the state highway in between the interstate and US highway shields. Should be on the right.

Yes, Kentucky doesn't allow such encroachments on right of way without a permit. But crews typically only address signage on ROW a couple of times a year. They're too busy doing other things.
At least it's not a local election year, or else there would have been a crap ton of campaign signs at that particular intersection.

^^ Off-note, bit I thought all Georgis route markers signs were black on white, except 515 (blue) and 520 (green).

Someone probably shared this before, but whatever. Here's my photo of it, NY 414 at I-86, with Truck NY 415:

I-59 is just up the road on AL 117, so it should probably stick around. AL 40 is also not too much further beyond, and it also serves as being the quickest route to Scottsboro (and Huntsville) from here. In fact, it forms part of the shortest route between Huntsville and Atlanta.

40 just sort of suddenly becomes 117, and I've always thought that should have been the number which heads to Mentone and the state line.

Google Maps certainly seems to think AL 40 continues to US 11 as well:
