That poor sign should be taken out back and put out of its misery. Yikes.

Yeah it definitely could use some new sheeting, for some reason that IN 15 is holding up pretty well.

What's funny about that is, from my own observation, that it's usually the route marker that goes first instead, not the rest of the legend. I-35 here used to be laden with faded county pentagons up until a year or two ago.
