This has since been removed from MUTCD as not well understood.
That explains why I recall seeing a few in the 1990s, but can't recall the last time I've seen one.

Seen in Murray City, Ohio. I didn't go down the road to find out what the risk was.

A wordy way to say "Handicap Parking Only".  But then they couldn't be bothered to fill in the details at the end.  This was in a parking lot in Santa Ana, California, on July 25, 2025.

You need binoculars to see that you're not actually on route 99.

To be fair Kern County does a solid enough job maintaining Union Avenue between CA 99 and CA 58.  The casual non-highway fan driver really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the CA 204 section of CA 99 BL.
