Erroneous road signs

[roadman65]

I bet that one confuses some motorists LOL!

Anyway, VDOT has plenty of erroneous signs along I-95 in Richmond, VA at the Broad Street exit still showing US 33 interchanging there when in fact US 33 has not been there in 33 years.

I think I'd rather take the VA/I-247 shield instead of the Clearview'd VA/US 194 shields.

When I clicked the link, it took me awhile to see the problem with VA 247. I saw the Clearview signs as the problem first. I guess technically it is erroneous, as it's the wrong font for that use. But I agree, the VA 247 shield is still better off than the clearview shields.

it's not erroneous. a little silly, perhaps, but 100% correct.

the intent is to show the two through routes that will return you to I-95 North on the other side of the harbor.

Suppose to be Amtrak not Amtrack

I have a photo from northeastern Kentucky from about 15 years ago with it spelled "AMTRAC."

Oh yeah its intent is clear, but to take I-95 to reach I-95 north is not the best way to describe it in words.

Erroneous Street Blade along US 130 in Cranbury, NJ  (Cranbury) Half Acre Road east of US 130 is not CR 535 Northbound.

CR 535 Northbound off US 130 is actually at the next intersection, Cranbury South River Road.

Not a terribly blatant one unless you know downtown OKC:

Turning right won't put you on East I-44. Heck, it won't even get you there in any particularly direct form or fashion. This was probably supposed to be an I-40 shield, and could also use a TO banner.

Norfolk, VA--continuing the tradition of Derp signage for over 20 years!  This should also be under the Worst of Signs.

I just drove by there today and it's still there. It should be an I-40 shield.

I always thought that the I-44 shield there should be swapped with the I-40 shield on this "TO I-40" trailblazer on eastbound N.W. 50th Street near Lake Hefner Parkway. Turning right will take you to I-40 in 4 miles, but will take you to I-44 in 1 mile.

Why was i mentioned in the post with the bus crash story?

It was a pull quote of asking when the GA typeface was changed from uppercase C and D to E(M) and I was told that the bus crash had something to do with it. I may be wrong but that was what I was told. If I am wrong, I apologize. I also apologize if I misread or misquoted.

It had nothing to do with the font type. The problem the Feds saw was that there was no clear way to distinguish the left hand, HOV-only exit from the continuation of the HOV lane. The driver thought that the exit WAS the continuation of the HOV lane and took it. Consequently, he hit the top of the ramp, realized his error too late and lost control trying to correct his mistake, causing the crash.

Oh - that makes more sense. Thank you.
My apologies to all for my misunderstanding (after all these years  )

Good lord that thing is absolutely ugly! That should go in Worst of Road Signs, too. Not only is it erroneous, but very ugly looking.

[PHLBOS]

In Gloucester, MA at the MA 128/127A intersection; the D8 LGS for MA 127A South (listing EASTERN POINT & ROCKY NECK) should not have an upright arrow for a right turn movement.  An older supplemental ALT 127 STATE PARK LGS posted off to the side shows the correct direction (for 127A).

OTOH, from MA 127A North, theres a D8 LGS with a right-turn arrow for Rocky Neck (& E. Main St.) at the same intersection.

Upshoot: from 128 North, Rocky Neck is a right-turn onto MA 127A South (E. Main St. southwest of the 128 intersection); but from MA 127A North, Rocky Neck is a right-turn onto E. Main St. southeast of the 128/127A intersection (127A northbound becomes Bass Ave.).  Such could really screw-up someone not familiar with the area.

The D8 LGS facing 128 needs to have the 127A shield & SOUTH notation removed to make the EASTERN POINT-ROCKY NECK signage with the upright-arrow correct; though the upright-arrow should also be moved to the left side of the sign for better clarity.  A newer-spec'd D8 LGS for the right-turn onto MA 127A South should be provided and replace the older ALT 127 D8 LGS.

Side bar: 127A seems to be inconsistently signed here.  Some places have it signed as 127A; other places have it signed as ALT 127.  MassDOT, can you make up your mind here?

Assuming it is in fact at a junction with US 68, I don't see how it's erroneous.  Just worst of.

[hbelkins]

It's erroneous because it's in the wrong-sized blank.

[Zeffy]

It's erroneous because it's in the wrong-sized blank.

I also noted that the "8" was tilted ever so slightly compared to the "6".

Aren't these just design errors?
