Have you seen highway errors on television newscast or traffic or weather maps?

On the Inland Empire traffic map, if you zoom in the new section of the 210 freeway reverts back to California State Route 30. It also shows the original Kellogg Interchange freeways. I know a few CA-30 signs are still out there, but still, the 210 freeway between La Verne & San Bernardino was completed in 2007, & CA-30 was decommissioned.

I have also seen CA-138 as a U.S. Highway on the KCAL 9 weather report.

Are reporters and newscasters usually morons?

My local newscast is awful. They show CA-138 as "US-138" and also use the '70 spec US route shields (white shield on black background), even though California has never used this standard.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone from San Diego brought up a screenshot of a map showing I-905, which is still a few years away as CA 905 is still being upgraded.

I-905 could here sooner than you think.  IIRC, all of 905 is freeway-grade with the last segment opening earlier this year.
