1. If there are at least 25 different pictures in this thread worse than one you put onto this thread, delete your post.
2. If you commented on a picture that had its post deleted, delete the comment.
3. Maximum of three reply posts per picture.
4. Except for this post defining the rules, posts must be a "worst of the worst" sign picture or a reply to it.
Okay, so this is a complicated version of the other thread.
Oops, I broke the rules.

This thread exists because we couldn't stick to the one rule of the other thread ("pure, unadulterated suck"). So, to simplify, we have this new thread with four rules.

Worst of signs exists but it got to the point of "Very bad signs" but not worst. These posts are meant to be the absolutely worst of that could fit into a top 100 or less list.

Wasn't there a rectangle interstate shield for I-275 near St. Petersburg somewhere on this forum?

Yeah, it's not completely ineptly put together. I mean, they made the wrong thing, sure, but at least they made it reasonably well.

It's almost as if they used the Maryland state route shield and modified it for an Interstate shield.
"Worst" is in the eye of the beholder. What some think are candidates, others may not.

As well as what degree of badness warrants the term "worst". Is it anything above the 50th percentile, or must it be one of the 3 or 4 most awful things I've seen in my entire life? Or somewhere in between?

Is there anyway we can do some sort of poll? The poll can be modified to match the images on the thread by the OP.

I'm not sure if it is possible for me to edit the thread to add a poll and continually modify it. I like the idea though.

It would require you to be on your feet everyday to make the modification.

Done with fixing the pole and if we think the I-290 shield is good (Unless this is SARCASM) then I will remove I-290 from the list.
Are we looking for a group of questions to vote for which one is the worst or are we looking for something to mount the worst signs on? I'm confused. (poll vs pole) :sombrero:

We are looking for a group of questions to vote which one is worst and everytime a new post is added we add it to the poll. Everyone can change their votes because of that.

I got it...Misplaced attempt to be funny since someone typed the word
pole to describe what was being added.

How Brilliant.
I think these qualify for Worst of Worst of despite being only temporary signage. I mean, I've seen my fair share of signage put up at road works, but nothing comes close to this in terms of terribleness.
