Next time pick the best one of each bunch.

The worst thing about those signs is that the speed limit was 15mph. Some people can run faster than that.

Usain Bolt went as high as 27.8 MPH.

Those exploding trucks are just such a pain on base.

You misinterpret.  The route itself explodes.

Ahh yes, Michael Bay Memorial Highway

I wonder when we'll see the first spongebob-case banner ("NoRtH") in the wild

Spotted this shield along AL 53 in Harvest with a mixed case cardinal plaque above it:

I'm always amazed when someone goes through the trouble of custom designing/producing a sign that turns out to be non-compliant with MUTCD when a standard compliant sign exists and can be produced with less effort.

It doesn't stop whatever sign shop from manufacturing  hundreds of them incorrectly in the first place. These "S0UTH" banners are randomly all over the state:



Some Alabama jurisdictions have consistent signage, others have their own sign shops; accurately mass-producing but and just winging it with limited regard for precision.

My guess is that the contractors or local shops just do it a little cheaper and it's ready sooner than waiting around for ALDOT and that eases budgetary concerns...99% of the public never cares.

Not gonna lie, the mixed cap "North" doesn't irk me.

I found this in the town I grew up in:

Yeah, actually, it looks fairly sharp. It's wrong, yes, but it's not unappealing.

[freebrickproductions]

I don't hate it either, but it certainly fits the thread title.

At TCAT's men's restroom in Ithaca, NY (public transit authority):



Probably posted one of these before, but an I-81 Service Road mile marker at US 11 in Mattydale, NY:



No "Heeley's" at Wegmans in Cicero, NY:

Several interesting ones I've spotted recently:

"AHEAD | NO TRUCKS LANE LEFT"

Bruh. Why so much green space on the sign? The advance signage is like this too!

For some reason Houston suburbs cannot make a properly spec'd speed limit sign:

A Welcome sign with not only a governor name but his picture on it.

To keep left, or not to keep left, that is the question:

Not really stupendously wrong in any way, just interesting:

A Welcome sign with not only a governor name but his picture on it.

State road maps used to do that a lot too.
