Post by: Buffaboy on October 04, 2015, 11:08:10 PM
I found this sign re. Interstate 44 on Wikipedia:

Do you know of any signs that take a commonly used shape but are almost "abused," like this one?

What about the '1&9' and '1-9' ones in NJ? 
Or the
79

80
ones in Shreveport?  Nonstandard/accepted?

Downtown KCMO has a few of these with 35 and 70 within the same shield.

Yoder, Kansas (an Amish town) has a few horse carriage warning signs on K-96.

But that isn't nonstandard. It's W11-14.

Is the horse pulling a street rod or a dune buggy?

I know I've seen several warning signs with this sort of arrow on it, but none that I can think of with Google Street View available.  I've usually seen them on county roads.  Does anyone have a picture of one?

I don't ever recall having seen this sort of arrow in the MUTCD.

I don't ever recall having seen this sort of arrow in the MUTCD.

I have yet to see it as a regular warning sign, but it does exist as a temporary (construction) sign, as a W24-1

Yep, these lane-change construction signs are very common currently in northeastern Kansas.

Oh, I've definitely seen it on a yellow diamond. At least now I know where they got the arrow design.

Bacon ahead.

That's probably a failed way of truncated W1-6 from the MUTCD (which I dug up). The first couple feet on the road are straight, but on the sign it starts curved. Then the curve happens, and the sign is a little off. It's an acceptable error margin. But that's it, the road straightens out just before the traffic light there, yet the sign still has the road curved.
