Unique, Odd, or Interesting Signs aka The good, the bad, and the ugly

[kendancy66]

Can anyone determine what this sign is for?

If you look back at older street views of this location, there is a 10 ton weight limit sign that is there, instead of the current one.

Unless I miss my guess, it's the same 10 ton weight limit sign, just deteriorating very rapidly.

Reviewing this again.  Forgot to mention that sign on the Dec 2015 street view, did not have the Red Slash (only red circle).    Has anyone seen a Red Slash on a Weight Limit sign?

I noticed that too.  "10-ton load limits are prohibited" ?

It looks to me like the sign is a reused No Something or Other sign that got repainted to be a weight limit sign, but then the weight limit part flaked off. Like what you see happening in Kentucky.

Idaho has these unique US 12 shields in Lewiston. This is the only one I can remember at the moment, though it might be the only one: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ySBGjdNGeM4KrvZo9

Looks like there used to be one here in 2007 and 2008, but it's since been updated with the proper shield:
Before: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5idpmwTp8y7wUAXa8
Now: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4zEzYSgiUn9GqYQ98

EDIT: Here's another one: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uWLVyiJdAcbnc9ph8

It's scenic byway signage, right?

[Amaury]

I'm not sure. The only thing I notice is that between the junction with Main Street and the junction with D Street, Google Maps also shows the road as Levee Bypass, though I'm not sure if that's referring to an actual levee or the name of something, because I don't see any nearby communities with that name. The Levee Bypass designation on Google Maps also continues to Snake River Avenue, though the road between D Street and Snake River Avenue isn't US 12, unless it's a spur route.

EDIT: Oh, wait. Never mind on that not being US 12. It is, but just for eastbound, though eastbound technically has a gap in it in Lewiston.

Here's one that bugs me, seems very confusing:

^^ It could definitely be arranged better, but I could figure it out.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the part of the state outline inside the 8's counter space is not knocked out the way it should be.

Have you closed your flight plan?  Access road to the hangar crosses a grass strip at Skaneateles Aerodrome:

[Amaury]

Wow, that's hilarious!

Yeah, my pilot son got a kick out of it.  I think I've seen this sign at other airports as well.

How many numbered addresses exist on Interstate highways? Other than actual surface streets like Wyoming I-180 or Breezewood-like setups.

Different states do these things differently.

The businesses in the median of I-44 near Walters (OK) have an address of 21 H. E. Bailey Turnpike.  The ones near Chickasha have an address of 1896 H. E. Bailey Turnpike.

And the businesses along I-70 just east of Topeka (KS) have an address of 8000 SE Interstate 70.

Not MUTCD compliant and most likely a city install and not MoDOT either.

On the bright side, at least it's more legible than most signage cities install of that nature...

Weight Limit 55 Tons? Are there really any semis over 55 tons out there?

Considering Missouri is the only place they're around, unless HI or MT have them also( as I haven't yet been to those places), means probably not.

The only place what are around?  Semis or weight limits?

Missouri also posts 60 ton limits, but I don't think I've seen higher limits...

I'm guessing the equivalent New York sign would be "no trucks with R permits".
