Taken on WA 504 coming down from Johnston Ridge Observatory at Mt St Helens.

If it showed a boulder instead of a truck, it could be a "Watch for Falling Coyotes" sign.

Even weirder, the blanks are still the wide, 3-digit ones despite using two-digit shields!
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

It looks like it's pretty common on that Parkway. The first exit south has a circle TN 96 shield as well.

The NPS mindset is on Mississippi and think all exits connect to Mississippi routes.

East shield instead of West as ramp to left leads to WB US 22.

US 301 should not be bannered on this sign anyway.

No cause it's both directions here.  Should be greened out and will work.

I-76 ends here. Should be NJ 42 South Atlantic City on the pull through.

They did the same thing at the 3-46 interchange. They sign the APL as West NJ 3 TO West US 46, even though NJ 3 ends in less than a tenth of a mile. I think they should've signed it END NJ 3 JCT US 46. I would show it, but the GSV isn't updated yet.

I wonder if this counts, as it's not a problem with the sign itself, but the placement of it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bm34C6sjj2y6dLvH8

Washington State Route 150 runs along a few different locally named roads in Manson and Chelan. This particular section in the link above is East Johnson Avenue. At the intersection just ahead with North Sanders Street, Washington State Route 150 eastbound turns right on North Sanders Street (as also seen by the other sign ahead of the aforementioned sign showing WA 150 eastbound goes right: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hFm3zRSNVhmFkhgg6) and then turns left on East Woodin Avenue, where it forms a concurrency with US Route 97 Alternate northbound.

The sign in the first link above saying WA 150 eastbound left lane and US 97A southbound right lane is referring to these lanes AFTER you turn right on North Sanders Street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNPJ7tv3YBs7PKbm9

But where the sign is placed, it makes it seem like it's talking about the two lanes on East Johnson Avenue, which it isn't. Seems to me like the sign should be on North Sanders Street right after turning right. Or maybe add an additional smaller sign below the main sign, saying something like "After Right Turn."

Something like that is done along Washington State Route 18, where you have your standard Right Lane Ends signs, but in some areas, there's an additional sign that says "After Exit." Like here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8jihBLgyLUyW3dgH9

Old Leeds Road is not to the left, its to the right exiting I-20 Eastbound.

Then the lack of a AL 5 shield on each I-22 guide. Considering AL 5 is an important route north of this interchange they would want to list it.


AL 5 is also a regional route exceeding 100 miles.

Don't know if this was already covered here, but this mistake has gone viral yesterday
It has since been covered up and should be replaced shortly. Details at https://www.phillyvoice.com/95-sign-misspelling-cenrtal-philadelphia-cottman-avenue-collapse-bridge/
