Crazy things you've found in Google StreetView

A truck on I 35E SB north of Dallas that obviously has some kind of smoky problem:

I had never thought of using a child's pack-and play as a rooftop cargo box, had you?

With Street View extending coverage through most of Austria, I went out on a hunt for a Fucking sign . Unfortunately Mr. Google hasn't visited the village yet.

Some areas of a camera are often blurred out.  I am not talking either about car tags or stuff the NSA or Homeland Security often have blurred.  Spots in photos hiding nothing, I am referring to are sometimes scene. 

Then there is that black screen with white bars that often comes up.  Example of that is the NYSTA Berkshire Thruway WB across the Hudson River for a while anyway.

Wonder if Katrina put it here.

Not exactly "crazy", but fun to watch this semi churn past the street view car on a narrow two-laner with no shoulder.
(Thanks kphoger for the find... found it thanks to this post.)

Not super crazy, but people getting a food pickup at a YMCA in a poor part of my home city:

Not super crazy, just disappointing; this infamous billboard near Harrison, Arkansas.

That and Vidor, Texas are still white supremacy hotspots.......though one could argue that title for the entire states of Texas and Arkansas......

Nah, Texas is pretty damn nice (as is most of Arkansas). Hotspots are rapidly shrinking pockets of MS and AL.

Indeed. I'm not even sure if Vidor is much of a hotspot anymore; they had a well attended protest recently, and I'm not aware that anybody opposed it.

The Parkersburg-Belpre bridge over the Ohio River between Ohio and West Virginia, carrying OH 32 and WV 618.  It is also a former routing of US 50.

The railing is lined with ... a series of bras.  To be fair, this was for an event to raise breast cancer awareness, so good for them!

I will note that the picture is the StreetView from September 2019, in case visitors in the future stumble across this post.

Google takes a jaunt down an "authorized vehicles only" ramp near Cookeville, TN.

In street-view, move a couple of notches to see the other side of the sign.  The place is called "I 45 Mini Mart" even though it is on an old alignment of US 45 which is paralleled by a limited access US 45.

Flood off I-29 in ND, near the Canadian border. The bridge to the left is at risk of being flooded.

I would feel sorry for anyone who wanted to clinch MO 94 at this time..

That's an extremely common occurrence on US 67 and all of 94 between there and 370 (basically the north St Charles County floodplain between the Missouri and Mississippi). I feel like it gets closed every 2 years or so. That said, virtually no suburb-dwellers in St Louis County go up there, unless to get to Alton.

Notice how they put another signal on the back of the wire, activated during two-lane traffic. The southbound carriageway's lower elevation means that flooding puts cars onto the NB carriageway during flooding.

Unrelated traffic oddity; immediately after beginning at US 67, 94 goes under this old one-lane bridge, followed by a tight 15 mph curve.

Does anyone know what's up with some road segments being labeled in another language?

For example, here's a state highway in Mexico that thinks it's in Ethiopia.

I remember seeing both Russian (or another cyrillic script language) and Japanese while going around Spain. Example
