I've taken this picture on TCH 2 EB in Edmundston, New Brunswick in a construction zone back in 2019. Such an error could kill people if it were followed.

The No Return Access should be in a yellow warning label. However it is not.

How about permanent dual mounted signage? It has been wrong (and reported) for years.

Also, shouldn't that airport sign behind it have an arrow or exit number or something underneath?

This one where I-20 exits off of the I-520 c/d road.


The exit sign in the gore is pointing the wrong way.

US 441 does not end in Madison, GA.


It is supposed to be BY-PASS US 441 and GA 24.  However the banners fell off obviously.

"Follow Bluegrass Pkwy for Bluegrass Pkwy"

I'd argue this is the opposite of erroneous. I mean... how else would you follow the Bluegrass Parkway?

Definitely more redundant than erroneous, which I believe there's a thread for that...
I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

Back in 2013 in Bloomfield Twp, MI.  Should have clarified "Telegraph/Dixie (intersection, where US-24 changes between the two) to I-75."

That dates back to when the sign said "BG Parkway" instead of the full name, with the governor it's named after and the KUS logo at the bottom. There are trailblazers for the parkway along KY 922, KY 4, and US 60.

Fun fact: there are fewer traffic lights if you take US 27/68 and KY 4 over taking KY 922 and KY 4.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

As the next exit is to KY 922, I thought the sign is supposed to say "Follow KY 922 for Bluegrass Pkwy", which is why I posted it here. Now that you pointed out that thread, think this is a better fit there.

The plaque below MO 185 points both ways, but turning right does not look advisable.  :pan:

There's also stop signs in the direction you're not actually allowed to go.

My co-worker mentioned this morning that, getting on I-135 North from Harry Street (here in Wichita), there are road construction signs informing drivers that the left lane is closed.  It's actually the right lane that's closed.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

How about the arrows here. The one on the right is pointing toward the upward left arrow which goes to a different place than the arrow intends.

Yeah the middle lane is either or, but this is where the APL would be useful.

These road work signs are still there as of this morning. As you can see, the first street view that shows them is May 2012.

That looks like half of ODOT signage that uses dancing arrows where an APL would be better.

Wandered around on Google Street View around Hampton Roads to find this mix up



Virginia SR 564, this should be Interstate 564 instead.

Isn't part of that route actually called VA 564, similar to I-381/VA 381 in Bristol?

no...

VA 337 ends at I-564 and vice-versa

Froggie found this one there in 2001...
