Erroneous road signs

[TBKS1]

I found a switch-up but it's not a shield, although it's a pretty subtle error (once again).

This should be AR 22, US 22 doesn't go through Arkansas lol

Guaranteed I'm going to post this in here and someone's going to tell me to move it to the other thread but it's whatever honestly.

US 22's alignment is approximately a WSW-ENE diagonal. Interestingly, if you continue the diagonal, it'll enter the northwest corner of Arkansas.

I've used AR-96 numerous times and never noticed this, but always coming from Greenwood's downtown when doing so, so never really see this sign.  They actually got it right coming from the other direction, which is a left turn instead.

I don't get this one, I might need a bit of an explanation for this but there's obviously something off about this sign



Located along AR 94 northbound at the intersection of AR 340 just south of the Missouri state line

Missouri SR 44 doesn't exist, and I have no idea if this was a former highway or if it's meant to represent Interstate 44... but I-44 is nearly 50 miles away from this location, and it intersects other highways well before it. I don't get this one but I think it qualifies for this thread.

MO 44 is a former highway which was replaced when I-44 was designated. It's now Secondary Route F.  ArDOT apparently never got the memo.

The other day, as I was geocaching, I found this strange road sign along CO 392 while geocaching. I don't know why it exists.

I don't get this one unless it's a location specific error

You can't junction the route you're on.

OHHHH I literally didn't notice that, I thought the sign itself was an error apart from the road itself. That makes sense now.

Illinois is notorious for signing "JCT Both Routes" assemblies on concurrencies.

This is near the CO 257 concurrency in Windsor... maybe it was just placed in an incorrect location?

Another Colorado one.  I hadn't driven on I-70 East out of Denver in a while, and these signs are new.  Contractor mix-up.

Are sign colors important any more?

[Big John]

^^ Or are operations doing a slow pace?

There's one similar to that (shield error) on EB I-70 going into Idaho Springs.  When there WAS a BL-70, it should've been a BL-70 shield.

Another misapplied appearance of the Divided Highway Ahead sign:  Kirkland, WA

Speaking of which, here's a local example.

But there is a legal difference between the Federal Highway Administration MUTCD and the MUTCD of Canada.  Here in the United States, the FHWA can and sometimes will withhold Federal funds when a Federal-funded project has blatantly failed to adhere to MUTCD standards, which are contractually-mandated regulations for such projects.  Transport Canada (the ministry of transportation, lower case intended) can certainly hold provincial Transport/Infrastructure agencies to those same standards, but the Transport Association of Canada (TAC) that administers the MUTCD Canada doesn't have any such authority.

Reminder that I have an entire folder of over 90 photos entitled "Nope Springs Eternal," full of traffic control fails.  Mostly it's signage.  Feel free to post any photos here in this thread if you have any specific comments.

The double turn sign blocking the view of the shields behind it is wrong.  Look at the pavement and the fact the shield behind it, says continuing straight is an option.

i was wondering why there was an intersection on an interstate until i realized it's a frontage road

You haven't been to Cheyenne, WY and drove I-180 😄

Northbound US-23 in Ann Arbor.  In reality, only the right lane exits to eastbound M-14.

Good one.  I drove through there a month ago or so and noticed that botch.

This is NJ 29 since NJDOT and the City of Lambertville made S. Main Street a one way. So technically NJ 165 has a NB concurrency with Route 29.
