Title: Most variations for a standard sign in a short distance
Post by: Revive 755 on December 21, 2024, 11:01:31 PM
MO 366 near the former Crestwood Mall seems to have had five different versions of the 'left turn yield on flashing yellow arrow' sign within a half mile stretch during a signal replacement project:

Any places with more than five variations in a short stretch?

  • The variant used around Kansas City (Left Turn Signal - Yield on Flashing Arrow (https://maps.app.goo.gl/YmoLqsYhpnNNJM9cA)
  • Variant of the standard Missouri sign with Left and Turn on separate lines (https://maps.app.goo.gl/2jt6wAYWopogjkrp6)
  • The standard Missouri version (Left Turn Yield On Flashing Arrow0 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/A2a92qQtd9WnVwV98)
  • Left Turn Yield On [yellow arrow on black circle] (https://maps.app.goo.gl/TQBucM8AgUdbUrdG9)
  • Something close to the Wisconsin version (Left Turn Yield on Flashing Yellow Arrow) (https://maps.app.goo.gl/2m3DL4JgRVzK2G557)

I can't claim to meet or exceed 5 in such a short distance, but, in California, restrictions on trucks (weight, height, and length) often have great variation in how they are expressed. "No trucks over 5 tons on Auto Mall Parkway" is expressed at least four or five different ways near I-680. When CHP, Fremont PD, or CalTrans have nothing better to do, they sometimes even try actually to enforce it (usually snarling traffic for those of us who live nearby).
