The EAST & WEST lettering faded out leaving 4 I-90 shields on the pavement.

That's a critical problem.  Without clear signing you don't know which way to go.  Every lane goes to 90, so what is left there is not useful information.

The information would be helpful, but it's not critical.  The roadway painting only supplements what's already well signed.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cgjm4RvbbN56EjGY9

I think this is the way to I-91, but I'm not sure

I think this is the way to I-91, but I'm not sure

Maybe they're atoning for the fact that the preceding 5-way intersection has almost no guide signs for US-20, MA-20A, MA-116, or I-91.

Squaw Prairie Road at Poplar Grove Road near Belvidere, IL:  A record holder for the amount of Cross Traffic Does Not Stop signs at six for only one approach lane?  Also one of the few place with both red beacons and LED's in the stop sign borders.

What's redundant about that?

What's redundant about that?

US 33 WB exits signs (even as weird as the first one is) appearing twice.

Oh, I see. I thought that was way down the road. Hard to see distances.

Every so often, I muse that a DOT occasionally weighs a sign replacement against any additional removal costs and intentionally balks on the latter.

And there is also equally-redundant "stop ahead" signage in both directions—westbound curiously posted at 650 ft and 335 ft (as opposed to 800 & 400 ft eastbound).

No, no, it's actually Interstate I and Interstate 29.  They're concurrent through there.

Are you sure that it ain't Interstate (√-1)-29?
