The Best of Road Signs

"or worrying"?  Looks like it's a crime for a dog to exist in rural areas of CA!

[PHLBOS]

What will the ASPCA say?

[Aerobird]

"Worrying" actually has a specific meaning in this case; I think "harrying" might be a similar meaning. Basically it amounts to "nipping at their heels".

Nitpick: none of those Interstate shields have cardinal directions next to them.

[Zeffy]

Also, the 880 sign has a smaller pullthrough arrow than the rest.

Where on 101 is this sign?

[US71]

Sherwood, AR

To me, coming from the Midwest, that sign seems very off.

It'd make more sense to capitalize "DOWNTOWN" with the city name in mixed case below "DOWNTOWN", and to have "BUSINESS" to the left of {101}.  "ROUTE" seems rather redundant.  i.e.

BUSINESS {101}
DOWNTOWN
Foo
NEXT RIGHT

All within 2000 feet of each other on the same road (guess which one!)

where's that!?  also, is that a 21x18?

Creative way to sign the I-25 Business Spur (that's correct, it ends in town) serving the little town of Aguilar, Colorado. That's CDOT's new standard blade street sign.

Wow, that's just awesome! Now if only they'd sign that business route from I-25 itself ...

It is signed from I-25 Northbound at Exit 34 as Business Spur 25. Not so much Southbound. Also posted with reassurance markers along the route from I-25 to "downtown" Aguilar.

I see from this Google Maps link that it is signed from northbound I-25:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Aguilar,+CO&hl=en&ll=37.423767,-104.636727&spn=0.004644,0.010568&sll=32.824552,-117.108978&sspn=0.624323,1.352692&oq=aguilar&t=h&hnear=Aguilar,+Las+Animas,+Colorado&z=17&layer=c&cbll=37.423767,-104.636727&panoid=8D1yvJCJOaKgcy3X08tT9w&cbp=12,355.77,,0,1.28

It is also signed on the route itself. When I went through there in 2008, it was basically unsigned except for one lone sign at the western end of the route. I imagine the southbound sign will change to match the northbound sign at some point...

Also, is the standard for business loop/spur signage in Colorado now going to feature the white background square behind the green shield? That is also something I've not seen in Colorado previously.

It's not something I recall seeing elsewhere in Colorado. Doesn't mean it isn't out there. It's certainly not standard practice.

But I like that it still does exist.

Cornwall, Durham Region and even Toronto seem to still have a few of them.

Found this yesterday...an old Alabama county route shield (Butler County 50):

That gantry looks like it's about to fall down.

By god, is that Scout Finch playing in the background?

I liked that book. Except for the part where I had to write a paper on it. >_<
