Yes, that's in Pennsylvania. Just east of Harrisburg and parallel to I-81.

Wow, Ohio's a lot rounder than I remember:

Routewitches. These children of the moving road gather strength from travel . . . Rather than controlling the road, routewitches choose to work with it, borrowing its strength and using it to make bargains with entities both living and dead. -- Seanan McGuire, Sparrow Hill Road

Are those still up? I thought they got fixed a year or two ago...
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

Circle shields are common errors, considering they're the 'standard' shape for state route markers. I know of quite a few circles up here in Mass.

Well, that was unexpected! B, C, D, E, E (M), F. Now we have this. Looks like we have found the first widest US 22 shield in this millennia, never to be known again for ages.

It seems most of them were fixed, but that one in particular (on US 23 NB) is still there, as of Saturday.

Yo 22's so fat, it's Series H!

That's what you get for putting a sign by a Burger King.

Not to mention that that sign (my guess it was a contractor's sign & not an ODOT sign) has been up for well over 10 years now.

I'm fairly confident the sign can be blamed on the City of Worthington.

Seems kind of funny and NJDOT sometimes use them around Somerville or Newark areas. Also there is a fat US-22 sign at exit 17 off I-287 in Bridgewater

You guys know that's just Series E, right? Yes, the numbers are excessively wide, but they're also excessively tall.  Looks like just over half the shield height.  Just a couple inches smaller, with Series D, on a square shield blank, and you've got a standard shield to modern spec. Those aren't drastic changes.

The shield's also of the 3d-us variety as well.

:rolleyes: Somebody just had to ruin making fun of this US 22 shield.

For a two-digit US highway shield, it's a wide load.
