Not sure if this has been posted in the previous 200-plus pages, but this is on the US-12 bridge from Clarkston, WA to Lewiston, ID.  US-12, not WA 12 . . .

That belongs in the mixups thread, and was already posted before.

Construction contractor error shield on US 31 for Alabama SR 119 using a Georgia blank. (Location, no shield posted.)



There's a Shelby County Road sign up ahead, which aren't used in Georgia...

Alabama traffic signal posts. So can't be GA. The Peach State uses round concrete posts for their span wires.

Yes, formulanone already knew and clearly stated it was in Alabama.

See below from the "Virginia" thread. This was on the local news last night and VDOT had said they were going to fix it overnight. I agree with forum member FLAVORTOWN that the signs have clearly been patched with greenout, especially the eastbound sign. Makes me wonder what the signs' original intended purpose was.

How on earth did this happen

The way the sign looks it looks like someone changed the sign to make it wrong  :confused: :confused:

Dillsburg is missing an "l".  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219273006376447&set=a.10218247474178783)  (On US 15 NB just north of PA 94)

I didn't get a photo, and I can't get GSV because GSV cars can't use bus-only roads, but there's an "I-376 South" banner on the West Busway near Pittsburgh on the south end directing you to I-376. It's erroneous because I-376 is east-west.

In which universe is the word "damn" profane?

You gotta go back to 1929, but that's when the first curse word was uttered in a movie. It was 'Damn', and it was shocking. 

I'm not sure if Damn can be uttered in a G rated movie today, or if that automatically bumps up a movie to a PG rating. 

Yet, Frank Butler was frankly not giving a damn by 1939.

This is something that shouldn't be wrong, as I-376 now is pretty much a north-south route.

For some reason, Boulevard Guillaume-Couture in Lévis (QC 132) has two upside down horizontal traffic lights. Here's one of the two, at Avenue Taniata (QC 275):

I noticed this one yesterday, but I didn't stop for a picture, so here's a screenshot from Google Maps



This is just north of Loretto, MN. It should be Hennepin, not Hennipen.

Welcome to Movie Rating Talk!

The family movie Madeline was rated PG in 1998 for the single use of the word "damn," and it was out at the same time as Gone With The Wind which retains its 1971 G rating.  See this Roger Ebert Movie Answer Man, second question down: https://www.rogerebert.com/answer-man/movie-answer-man-08091998

An "END US40" sign in Oakley, KS. No, it doesn't end here. It just merges onto I-70.

Well at least one of these signs on OH 57 SB is misspelled. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219476850312418&set=a.10219476293498498)

I'm trying to remember...  Aren't drivers expected to obey signs over pavement markings?  Therefore, all drivers are required to keep left at that point?

Here's a street name blade that says Rue 18e Rue, which should be just 18e Rue.

Someone got distracted in Intercourse, PA, and signed PA 340 EB in the WB direction.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219554987265793&set=a.10219555039387096)

Always best to avoid doing signage during Intercourse.
