Erroneous road signs

[roadman65]

Here is an erroneous JCT sign along the US 1 Business & FL A1A overlap in St. Augustine as this is the first reasurrence shield of the two route concurrency.


A junction Business US 1 shield without the JCT tab (maybe the other one erroneous was the one that was supposed to be here) as this was on the temporary span of the Bridge of Lions during the actual structures overhaul and in the distance you can see the erroneous US 1 shields as well.

More like erroneous road sines, amirite

yes, but why not stripe the new pedestrian lane to the right, and thus implicitly move the parking in by a few feet.

honestly, the road utilization is gonna be the same.  so I'd rather have careless drivers hitting parked cars than pedestrians.

It's not that much of a safety problem. There's only ever one or two ASU maintenance trucks parked in front of that building. Anyone else will be towed so fast their head'll spin. But still, I see your point.

Years ago, I spotted an error Virginia primary 607 route marker in Clintwood. I took a picture of it from a distance as I was traveling on VA 83.

I drove through there again today and got a picture.



Something looked odd. Check out the closeup:

How much more would it have cost to make the 607 on a square and take the old sign off? Really.

There's something similar in the same general area of the state on northbound US 23 near the VA 65 intersection. I have a photo somewhere, but no closeup.

Now that is a bizarre mutant.  It looks like a boring circle shield is trying to give birth to a US shield.  It almost deserves a new thread, "Mutant Signage".

Looks like squared Mickey Mouse ears.

Westbound Va. 236 (Main Street) west of downtown Fairfax (but within the corporate limits of the City of  Fairfax):

Passed this spot today while walking from a free parking garage to the courthouse and observed that it has been replaced with the proper shield. There's still another error 236 circle in Fairfax City on northbound Route 123 somewhat to the south of the courthouse, however.

It looks like it's growing whiskers, too!

Y'all... this is a circle blank posted over a US highway shield... not a mutant.

This one makes me think of one thing: Mickey Mouse.

What's wrong with this picture?

It's not a duck.
It's not ducking.
It doesn't go well with duck, unlike duck sauce.
It doesn't rhyme with duck.
It's not a place named "Duck Crossing".

^^ You have to duck while the horse is crossing?

Fresh from Florida, we bring you another installment of Fun With Contractors!

Today's category is: what happens when the contractor's contract says to repave "State Road 30", the maintiance designation for US-98? Why, they put up State Road 30 signs, of course.

Looking west from Franklin County Road 379 just west of Carabelle:



And yep, there's a matched pair, 'cause heerrrrrrrrrrrrrre's East.

[Zeffy]

Even if they incorrectly thought that US-98 was FL-30, you still can't hate those signs they put up - at least they didn't come out looking like the rear-end of a goat. Contractors can make signs very nice looking... or they can make a sign that makes you want to tear your eyes out.

The TO MD 2 NORTH shield should not have the "TO" banner as the ramp leading to US 50 EB is also MD 2 North as well.  This  is where MD 2 joins US 50 (and US 301) for a brief concurrency around Annapolis at what once was a semi directional interchange before a local road was created north of this interchange.

Why is there not someone from FDOT designing or checking designs for signing plans? Why is a contractor ever putting up their own signs? Did they just decide to spend money for the sake of art?

Because Florida.

In Kentucky, sometimes the contractors are responsible for signage on a new road, sometimes they aren't. I don't know why they do it that way. A new portion of KY 15 opened in Breathitt County a couple of weeks ago and the state put up the signs. Three counties south, in Letcher County, contractors installed the signage when an intersection was reconfigured.

Apparently the signs are just lumped into the contract. And this sort of goof is downright common around the capitol whenever there's a resurfacing/resignage job; FL-30, FL-369 and FL-375 all make "cameo appearances" where somebody read the work order and decided the number on the contract needed to be the number on the signs.

I was in beauti...hahahahahaha can't do it Twin Falls Idaho the other day and drove the new US 93 Twinkie Town bypass. They got the memo that all non-interstates need exit tabs at interchanges, but missed the part on those exit tabs needing to have numbers
