I hope this is AI or Photoshop and not a real sign.

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Fails your sniff test?

By the way, has any of you ever attempted to secure your bike to feces?  I have, several times, and I've never been successful at it.  On the other hand, the mere presence of feces near my bike has served to deter would-be theives.

There's an advance sign for Hill Avenue with a US 30 shield on WB 5th Avenue in Aurora, IL..  This portion of Hill Avenue has not been a part of US 30 or a business route for 50+ years.

As you're driving south on KY 15 in Breathitt County nearing the Perry County line, you come across this sign:



Then at the intersection, you see this sign:



The 2446 sign is correct. The 2246 sign is an error.

There are other instances of Kentucky posting the wrong number at an intersection.

The error here is the spelling of "Wooten." The community is spelled "Wooton." This is in Perry County on KY 699; the community of Wooton is in Leslie County.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

The last sign also clearly needs repairs!  :-D

Interesting one in Brattleboro...119 once started around this intersection, but a new bridge was built to the south. Thus this should be TO 119...and even then one must wonder why 119 is even signed when all it does is lead to NH 119.



Similar situation here, the white sign states "WHEN CLEAR STROBE IS FLASHING R.R. GATES ARE DOWN AT VT 119", which is now just Bridge Street.

Those signs have been there a long time...*shrug*

An example of a begin sign for a route that does not begin here....
