Erroneous road signs

[roadman65]

I believe the same goes with CR 509 SPUR and CR 577.  Signs on US 22 and NJ 124 in Springfield show Miesel/ Springfield Avenues as CR 577 while Union County shows those two roads as CR 509 SPUR.

I'm getting some mixed messages here...

I recall an arrow for the 1 mile sign, too.

[WillWeaverRVA]

No photo, and the sign is missing on Google Street View, but mile marker 162.2 on eastbound I-64 in Virginia has an I-60 shield on it.

I would absolutely love to see a photo of this.  is a close-up safely doable?

Not quite what Will's referring to, but in the same vein:

Yeah, what I'm referring to is actually a full-color shield. I could probably get someone to drive me so I can get a picture of it. I couldn't take a photo then because I was driving home from Charlottesville at midnight.

I could do it. That'd give me another excuse to check out the progeess of the DDI at US 15.

Someone brought up a Redundancy Department of Redundancy sign in another thread and reminded me of this story from Snopes (take it however way you want):

http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?p=945900

Essentially, a sign said "NO STOPING," a guy stopped, got a ticket, but had it successfully thrown out because he gave the definition of stope: "Any excavation made in a mine, especially from a steeply inclined vein, to remove the ore that has been rendered accessible by the shafts and drifts."


On a similar front, someone I know got a ticket for disobeying a sign that said "10-MINUET PARKING." He would have gotten away with it but he hummed 11 Bach pieces in front of the officer.
OK, that last one might be a little stretched.

I can read that.

This sign on PA 433 would have been correct if it were facing the other way.  (There were no paving markings for about a half mile before this.)

No picture or street view (sorry), but while I was in Elmira for Thanksgiving, I saw an error US 17  (should be NY 17, obviously) shield on NY 352 West near NY 14.

West of Lincoln, AR


Lockesburg, AR

Tennessee does it, too


So does MoDOT


Here's a major error near Perry, AR

[roadman65]

No picture or street view (sorry)

It opened fine for me.

You opened what? He meant he didn't have a picture or street view. There was nothing to open.

West of Lincoln, AR

That looks like a '61 spec shield on the southbound 59.

[US71]

West of Lincoln, AR

That looks like a '61 spec shield on the southbound 59.

That's pretty much Arkansas "Standard" for 2d US.

[roadman65]

The FL SR 50 sign's arrow should be the same as the "TO I-95."

No idea what you're linking to because Bing Maps wants to pitch a fit about my OS. (Like that matters on the Web.) Good to see Microsoft will never change.

AR uses the '61 spec US and the '57 spec Interstate pretty extensively. They even have their own 3di US spec that looks like what you would get if you expanded the '61 spec shield to three digits.

Route 2, eh?

[US71]

North of Stillwater, OK


McAlester , OK


Evansville, AR (Contractor error)


Lees Summit, MO


...and the short lived MO 71 near Jane, MO

[Duke87]

Something is not right with this reference marker:


I-490 in region 11? Yeah, that's I-495 there.
