These have been replaced and there's no longer a redundancy. At the end of KY 341 near Midway. Photo taken in 2000.
From 2011, at the end of KY 227 in Scott County.

Just looked on Google Street View, and as of September 2011, that advance BGS and the one pointing to the off-ramp both showed "Exit 113", no actual road/street/destination. But, according to the map Google has of the area, the cross-road is West 65th Street -- amazing that someone couldn't have put a sign with that on it before now (whether the cross-road was named at the time of the first BGSes or not), and avoided the embarrassment of redunduncy.

North Dakota does the same thing except there is no tab on the ahead exit sign. http://goo.gl/maps/jQev6
Only other sign is the sign in the gore: http://goo.gl/maps/WcXBD

Do you mean the inner/outer drives? They are 2 separate roadways, and thus need two separate signs. While a driver could get confused looking at the wrong signage, but that'll be their own damn fault.

Until the mid-00's, this exit was for US 26/BL-15. But that was moved a few miles north when a new bridge was built over the Snake River. That's when this sign went up. You're right, it should read "West 65th St" or something about a destination, but instead we got that redundant beauty!
