Erroneous road signs

I personally don't have a problem with Route 21 first. I grew up in NJ and this is how I was raised. Just like having three destinations on one guide is normal to me as other states forbid it as information overload. Sadly the NJTA disappointed me in the Parkway at Exit 98 changing the SB control cities by eliminating Manasquan so it reads Belmar Brielle now.  But that's another story, but I'm not against the jersey way except for mileage signs and lack of shield placement on some roads.

From 2019, leaving the airport, shields in numerical order.




Well, except for 95 and 78...
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

And considering that I-78 East goes to I-95 and the NJ Turnpike it should be first with TO over the I-95 and Turnpike shields.

Looks like US 6 in CT was demoted and rerouted

Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Regarding the NJ routes, it looks like every instance where the shields are out of order, they appear after a "TO". Could it simply be that they're listing the routes in the order you would encounter them?

I can't find it.  Would someone please link to the MUTCD guidance that says US Route shields should be to the left of State Route shields?

Quote from: MUTCD Section 2D.09, "Numbered Highway Systems"
Standard:
05 Route systems shall be given preference in this order: Interstate, United States, State, and county. The preference shall be given by installing the highest-priority legend on the top or the left of the sign.

At Leduc, Alberta on AB-2A, they put a divided highway begins sign above a end divided highway sign.

TO NJ 47 SOUTH, I think not.  It is NJ 47 South here.

Erroneous directions for US 33, from northbound US 29.

East/West should be swapped.



Update:
This sign has been fixed, with the directions being correct.

It's a pavement marking, not a road sign, but turning right is allowed here.

In the same area, US 95 has moved to the East Coast!

Nice catch. I've driven out of that lot multiple times on to 110 but never from that exit.

You've probably found by now that private entities in the USA provide a near-endless supply of confusing what routes are at what level.

It's not just the USA. Would you believe me if I told you this is meant to be A-30, not US 30?

I guess that's payback for the time US 30 became QC 366.

US 1-9 does not lead to US 46 as it is US 46 here.

US 46 already begun on the nearby GWB, so it's concurrent with US 1-9.

It's not Nova Scotia Trunk 30?

(I guess the trunk routes started with the current US shields though)

Something random I noticed:


This route is actually OR-104S (although it doesn't appear on any signs), and there hasn't been an alternate US-101 in the state since 1976.

Dirt Roads

I was driving eastbound on New Bern Avenue in Raleigh last week on a dark rainy night when I spied this "Blast from the Past" that still says I-495.  It's I-97 now.  New Bern Avenue may be unnumbered, but it is still one of the major routes [out of] downtown Raleigh.

"Sidewalk Closed"?  No, the sidewalk ends.

If you wanna be technical, no sidewalk = closed sidewalk.

Maybe it's implying that the sidewalk is a closed finite set of concrete slabs.  :hmmm:
