US/State mixup shield error signs

[formulanone]

Also, this is right by the pic taken above........



That can't be coincidental, right?

I can tell "Heritage Estates" MHP right away (the only neighborhood west of US 27 in Broward).

Don't remember it getting a name.

Just to make sure you saw what I did. The name of that pond vis a vis its shape...

Yeah, always thought it was fucking around with the Everglades...right by Johnson Street.

I discovered this when re-clinching US-395 by driving the new Olancha/Cartago Bypass. This was at the intersection of the new Crystal Geyser Rd and what has now been demoted to US-395 Business Route:

What poor demented soul felt obliged to put "US" on this sign?

Also, this should be taken down anyway, since the detour is no longer needed. The new end of route 190 at US-395 is open to traffic.

It looks a mix between a California State Route pre-1964 edition and Hawaii State Route come together.

Those kinds of errors are pretty rare in NC.

There was one in each direction on the old section of US 23 between Mars Hill and the Tennessee state line before the new freeway was built.

ME 1A for US 1A.

That must be relatively recent. The last time I was in that area, it was a US 1A there.

That's 2011 GSV. The latest (2024) shows it as US-1A. And even in 2011, the signage in Bangor shows US-1A. So this was a localized US/State mixup from the past that got corrected at some point.

Spotted last Monday on NY 9N/22 south at NY 74 in Ticonderoga:

Here are a couple from my recent trip to New Mexico.

US 64-87 in Capulin, NM:



On TX 54 north of Van Horn.  There were three of these on northbound 54, but AFAIK none SB:

Went to Sipsey, AL, yesterday morning to catch Walker County's monthly siren test, and spotted this pair of rather old "AL 78" trailblazers for US 78, which certainly predate I-22 as the highway they're now supposed to point to is AL 5. Certainly shows that these kinds of errors have been happening for a very long time though!
Also, as a bit of a bonus error, the first shield is probably supposed to have an arrow pointing to the left underneath it, as the road it stands next to (at an intersection where a road forks from the main road on a curve) actually leads to AL 69.

That's a new take on the USBR marker. Haven't seen that one before.

Saw this one a couple days ago, along the Cape Cod Canal:

This leads to MA-3, which becomes US-3 about 60 miles away.

Used to be much more common.

A crapload of VA 460 signs recently went up along US 460 in Prince George County. There IS a VA 460, but it's about 280 miles to the west of here.

Almost every single 460 sign between I-295 and the county line (which is also a VDOT region boundary) is incorrect.
