This one apparently with birdshot on the Kern County maintained portion of Breckenridge Road. Interestingly this sign seems to be made of steel for some reason:

That's funny. The first thing I saw when I opened this page was the picture, and I thought "I saw something like that on Breckenridge Road once."
By the way, since that's a recent shot, did they fix the cave-in along that road?

^ That happens a lot in Alaska. Was common for route markers to be used for target practice in rural areas, until the state DOT limited posting of route markers to high-traffic places like major junctions.
Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of loudmouthed, hot-tempered Yosemite Sam wannabes kept shooting up those signs. Given the warning at the bottom of the sign in the OP, were any of the shooters ever caught?

Considering how remote of territory I was on along Breckenridge Road I doubt it. That is about as lawless of a land you're likely to find in California.

It was the best of signs, it was the blurst of signs?!?
...You stupid redneck!
There were a crapload of big green signs that have suffered gunshot wounds on the Mountain Parkway in Kentucky. KYTC has replaced some, but not all, of them in recent years. And yes, the replacements have taken a few bullets since they were installed.

Heh. Ny relatives in deep Floyd County would say the real hillbillies lived out by the Mountain Parkway... :D
While not the worst in the grand scheme of things for this thread, I find it hilarious that "SunPass" was the note that got the most damage...

It would have been hella funny if it actually was Arkansas state highway 15.
I think if Alaska 47 existed it would would be just as funny.
