Strangely, you can continue on Street View on the "old" route.

I can't: it dead-ends right where the road veers off. (I actually can get to the Street View on the misaligned section, but only by skipping ahead.) Going backwards though, it works fine.

What's going on with I-80?

Someone at Google probably dragged a node

Or they've really got it out for someone at 20 Brighton Terrace.

not crazy but odd, the street view of the Omaha Street widening project's finished first phase cuts off westbound at the Oshkosh Street intersection- which is no longer accessible from the westbound side due to the new raised median. Why would the car stop recording here instead of going to, say, Cross Street, which is still accessible from the westbound lanes?

In addition to that, the eastbound recording from the same time DOES go to Cross Street (and all the way through the construction zone further west) but detours through the Black Hills Bicycles parking lot instead of staying on Omaha.

That's just a stitching error. There's thousands of them on GSV.

I saw one the other day that looked even more real than that one, but I can't remember now where it was.

But one with a very Escher-esque result (look at the bases…)

Both the road and slip lane yield to each other.

It looks more like the slip lane has two yield signs, but the one on the left is horribly placed.

Plus both yield signs are back-to-back with a "Wrong Way" sign, seemingly implying that both yields are for the slip lane.

Prudhoe Bay is lucky to have Google Streetview coverage at all, but there's another Google car?

(No, it's not driving past a giant mirror.)

Maybe they're traveling together for safety.

Based on my time looking at GSV, I'm assuming that's the case.  Multiple Google cars traveling together seems to be more common in remote areas and on unpaved roads.  I imagine that each one serves as 'chase vehicle' for the other.

Why are both of these signs facing the opposite direction?

[kphoger]

Why are both of these signs facing the opposite direction?

They were facing the right way three years earlier.  It appears the signs were turned around while the station was closed off.  GSV shows the station was open in 2015 but closed in 2016.  The signs are gone entirely as of 2021.

Seems like a waste of time/money.  If you are going to close the station, just take the sign down.  Don't hang it backwards to then take it down.

Presumably they did that because, in the interim, there were plans to reopen the station. Hanging the signs backward is a fairly cheap way of "storing" them if there's a chance they're going to be needed again soonish.

Most places would just put a bag or tarp over them.

I just figured they still wanted to be able to carry out business as usual during hurricane evacuations.

Speaking of wasting time and money, why did they bother putting up two signs when they could've just put up one after the merge point?

Hopefully, this isn't what it looks like.

Saw this in a Youtube video; apparently some GSV from Louisville, Mississippi in 2014 was taken right after a massive tornado went through town, leading to stunning shots like these:

- Metal sheeting wrapped around a tree and foundations stripped clean
- Insane view of the tornado scar
- Tossed cars
