Signs With Design Errors

[Scott5114]

What are we studying here, the "new math" from the 1960's?

...the metric system? I thought that was fairly obvious.

And lowercase i modifies an SI prefix to specify it's a power of 2¹⁰ instead of a power of 10³, but I haven't seen that outside of quantifying data.

Introducing iNumber.  Lease a new iNumber with low monthly payments for 2⁴ to 2⁶ months.

Totally imaginary.  Which is the other meaning of "i".  By the way, there is a flaw in the processing routine for matrix multiplication in Microsoft Fortran whereby the use of imaginary numbers is calculated incorrectly.  Fortunately, these are processed correctly in FORTRAN77.  Just in case you ever want to calculate power flow when trains are moving towards each other (on different tracks, of course).  But if you choose to use Python, you'll just have to crank out the matrix calculations the old fashioned way.

That's what made me stop taking math.

Also missing a shield for IN 13 in Syracuse, but definitely 1 digit in a 3 digit shield.

The large prefixes ronna and quetta were adopted [in 2022] in anticipation of needs for use in data science [...]

An adopted power couple, that's so cute!

This sign is the north end of OH 91 should be white instead of yellow.

Maybe it smokes.

Kind of unrelated, since it's a different material. But I've seen license plates in Texas that have faded from white to a yellow-ish color like this.

It used to be a standard regulatory sign:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/mAhzgtqBwQV1j9298

Then it was both:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/zp1YQDNdxzGa6nfY8

Then just the yellow one remained:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/mHLj46XNwvH1VzhU9

Thank you for posting these links. When @74/171FAN said "yellow" I thought he meant actual yellow, like the standard warning sign color. Knowing it was installed as fluorescent yellow-green makes it a lot clearer that it's not faded from regular yellow to whatever that color is.

Still the wrong color, though.

Also worth pointing out that the advance warning sign is a black-on-white rectangle ...

... followed by a yellow diamond with regulatory instructions.

Anybody have a label printer?

In the posted image, it looked like a white sign degrading to yellow. In the GSV, it's clearly the "school, pedestrian, bicycle, playground" color. Not a standard use of that color, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea, if they want it to stand out from all the other boring regulatory signs.

Why is it using the German road sign font?

Because I hadn't downloaded Overpass onto that computer.

There's an actual sticker for that...



I've been sort of tempted to print a bunch of these up to stick on awful signs in parking lots. (It'd be funnier the further away from Missouri it was.)
