Just spotted this error at the DDI on I-95 just north of Savannah, GA.
This is the type of errors that can kill people.

Agreed. I have seen versions of that sign with the arrow squiggling to the left of the median blob.

I've long thought of it as the "eye patch" median sign since I was a kid, but I thought that would be an even more confusing description.

I wish the W4-8 sign would be redesigned to make it clear it means left as it is too easily confused with the opposite W4-7 sign

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.

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

Interesting, thank you.  Too bad that does not illuminate why GWTW got a G rating in 1971.  There were PG ratings then.  I don't object to Butler's "damn" but the piles of wounded seem pretty harsh for young children.

The worst part is there used to be a US 58 shield here.

Even a US 30, US 31, or US 32 shield would have made infinitely more sense.   :banghead:

Because US 58 basically splits into 30th St, 31st St (Laskin Rd), and 32nd St entering the Oceanfront Area.

I probably would've understood if VA 40 entered VA Beach somewhere and they accidentally slapped a US 40 shield here, but that route is nowhere near here either. This is one of the biggest goofs I've ever seen.

I was thinking, "maybe the speed limit is 40 and they ordered the wrong sign"....nope, it's 45.

Just baffling.

I mean, it ain't like there ain't precedent for that happening...

VDOT should take control of signage for US Routes and some Primary Routes in the state now. No reason to screw up this bad, Virginia Beach.
