Erroneous road signs

[kphoger]

Now, if there is a upside-down K-96 sign, I doubt anyone, even us roadgeeks, would notice.

How the hell would one know? 

Any good roadgeek would surely notice that the sticker on the back was upside-down!

The sticker could've been put on upside-down.

I've seen enough of those even on signs installed the correct way.

You assume there is an inventory sticker on the back, which may not be the case... Not all jurisdictions use a tag for all signs.

What jurisdictions sign K-96 but don't use inventory stickers?

I doubt it gets a sticker on a guide sign, and if it did you wouldn't be able to see it.

[KG909]

Um?

[NE2]

Not erroneous.

Look closely at these signs...



Saint John, NB along Main Street (NB 100).

I wonder how long that's been spelled wrong.

They have misspelt 西 .

Probably from the ou(t)set.

Is it also odd that they have a blue background on the NB 100 shield, but a green background on the NB 1 and 7 shields?

New Brunswick uses different colored shields for different classes of highways. Green are primary highways (freeways, super-2's, and other major highways), blue are collector (secondary) highways, and black are are tertiary (local) highways.

I'm glad formulanone gave the above clue...I was about to say Fredricton was needing a "k".

I thought the error was with Fredericton as well. But then I realized I needed to be able to spell it right for my Grade 3 provincial capitals.  It's 'Fred' 'der' 'ic' 'ton'.  Took me several seconds to see the error.

Ran across several errors in my neck of the woods recently...though I'm not sure if any of them are actually at the state level. (Apologies for the somewhat meh photos - they were taken at the spur of the moment.)

I think this first one is a private error...it's been floating around on Commonwealth Drive off USVA 171 for a couple of years now.



I'm not sure if this one fits under erroneous or design error, but either way it's very nearby the first one, on Kiln Creek Parkway (which I believe is county-maintained).



Finally, I caught these on a night drive on the new section of City Center Boulevard in Newport News that opened a few weeks ago. Double error - they switched both the directions and route classifications here. There's also a JCT VA 60 shield behind it, and matching sets of both on the other side of the intersection. (Also, groovy rainbow effect ahoy!)

That's the 1st one of those I have ever known to exist outside of Louisiana.

Not sure if this one at I-25 and University Ave in Las Cruces has been covered yet(no time to comb thru 130+ pages of replies), but it's always bugged me:

R4-4 sign is used to signify that traffic merging onto University Ave from I-25 is to yield to bicycles. But it's not a right turn lane so much as an acceleration/merging lane.

Those VA 60 shields look like a contractor error. Newport News doesn't usually use the standard Virginia shields.

Interesting that they're signed north-south, just like the new postings for VA-143 further along the route.
The VA-60s may be gone now, as I didn't see them when I drove the new road on Sunday.

Even though this sign has been up for nearly 10 years, I think it's great that this error lives on. NY Route 57 was decommissioned in 1982.

Seconded!  A reminder of my childhood when I lived in the Syracuse area.
