An oddball freeway onramp sign by California standards to begin with, but a closer look in the darkness shows it is actually repurposed express lane signage (rotate it 90 degrees left). I-580 at N Flynn Rd leaving Livermore.



Although this sign has two nice examples of demountable copy, only the I-215 shield is button copy -- the Barstow lettering and arrow are older, and do not have reflective elements. The I-215 is most likely covering up where an I-15 or I-15E used to be given the date code "CA 70" on the back. Photograph obtained from sidewalk with a puzzled CHP officer trying to figure out what I was doing. I-215 at Orange Show Rd in San Bernardino.

Maybe it was painted by the cows from the Chick-fil-A billboards.

Depends on whether it's enforced or not.

How dare you insinuate losing heart wouldn't be enforceable. It's like the number 1 rule in Cranston, Rhode Island.

Is it warning you not to lose heart?  Or is it warning you about something specific up ahead, but also encouraging you not to lose heart, because you're going to make it through just fine?
