This is on I-10 eastbound in Mobile, AL about a mile or two before the tunnel. The CONGESTION AHEAD WHEN FLASHING was already there. but the HILL BLOCKS VIEW signs are brand new. This is the first time that I have seen them on an Interstate. This also shows that Interstates need to be designed with better sight lines.

I want to say there's at least one of these here in Madison County, AL.
I've seen quite a few of those and variants ("limited sight distance") in New York, but never on a limited-access highway. That sh*t's crazy.

There's one of those on the northbound Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers, just north of the NYC line and well south of the area with at-grade cross streets.

They usually are signed with better sightlines; that all goes into determining the design speed of the highway.

Just another aspect that the George Wallace Tunnel bottleneck is becoming more and more of a daily traffic problem (note the congestion ahead when flashing sign in the background). The advisory speed is a complete joke too. Non peak-hour speeds normally run at 70 plus MPH on that stretch and the rise for the underpass was never a problem before.
