That bridge is really low! I'm almost taller than the clearance for that bridge! :-o

What was the problem with that sign? All I could see was a text sign, including one that appeared damaged. If it was the ugly sign, the ugliness isn't apparent from the photo accompanying the news story.

Its at the interchange of airport road and meridian ave north of will ridges world airport. You can find it on street view looking westbound on airport road. I think what makes it so ugly is that the word southbound is in all caps.

Actually, it's the arrow: http://goo.gl/maps/pJhAV

Not bad enough for Worst of Road Signs, but still pretty ugly.

Suave.  At least the trailer detached rather than the maroons around here who leave their bed in the up position.

Well, that's one way to redecorate... Two or three, if you count the directions on the overpass.

Too bad he was not driving OBT in Orlando with our ugly traffic signals that we have there courtesy of the anal organization known as the South Trail Development Board.

However, interesting photo.  That truck sure jacknived pretty good.

That's the infamous exit that a certain person "missed" and caused us to have to wait in the hot sun for 1/2 hour or more.
