Is it just me or is this sign way too massive?
I see the roadway is somewhat elevated in this area, but the photo below seems almost comical.

Be careful with this Raymond Yu guy.  He likes to photoshop his own vision of road signs onto photographs.  A lot of the pictures in his collection are fakes.

Yeah, I'd heard about this guy and was hesitant, but the picture looked real, so I went with it.  I didn't ground-truth it on GSV, though.  Hopefully it is legit.
