The Worst of Road Signs

[1995hoo]

Please tell me that's on private property...?

Nope, that is right in the middle of a public road for everyone to see (and then want to gouge their eyes out).

There are quite a few of those for I-295 and I-395 in various places around DC.

I Hate the FYG in all of its smarmy horribleness.  Anything with is should be here.

I don't think it's really that bad, but for BC this isn't too sharp...

- All Caps Clearview
- Not sure "Exit Only" is even Clearview at all
- Arrows squished more-so than usual

Again, not really that bad, but for BC, this sucks.

Fluorescent Yellow-Green.

Used for crosswalk, pedestrian crossings, and school crossing signs, but shouldn't be used on (most) diamond warning signs (I think).

Holy shit. That's ugly. I really think DOTs (yes I know this one's from Canada.) should have a profile here on the AARoads forums and have us do their signage.

Ni!

Ni!

I think it depends on what the definition of is is.

[J N Winkler]

"Ni" is Italian for "yes and no" (supposedly what Vittorio Emanuele III said to Mussolini when consulted about foreign policy adventures, such as the invasion of Ethiopia, that later turned into disasters).

Trying to think of an application...I would just think it was malfunctioning.

I thought it was what certain knights say.

More signing of interstates on SNS blades, in Baltimore.

^ I don't think that's really worst-of, but I'm curious on what the hell font they are using for the 'I' on that street blade - 395 looks to be normal FHWA Series D, but the I is totally throwing me off.

Must be a MD thing. Just like the street name signs with Interstate numbers.

Probably so it can't be confused with '1' and 'l'? Which wouldn't make sense to me because they're already different as it is.

Only until recently.

A "TRUCK" bannered county shield? That's a new one to me.

Reminds me of the BC shields with condensed Helvetica.

Which mutant font is that?

Here's a few along I-95/I-495 in VA





I just freaking hate the lane drop panel in the first image!

Dear god. Someone, get the flamethrower!!!

[1995hoo]

Those signs on the Beltway are gone, especially that Telegraph Road sign. It was nasty stuff while it lasted, though!

[VCB02FromRoblox]

Well here's another sign. All I can say is, these signs are completely screwed up.

[Takumi]

The massive empty space on those is so they can add more shields and destinations for when the I-95/PA Turnpike connection is complete.

[PurdueBill]

The signs look very Maryland.  Would anything with the 95/PA Turnpike connection change signage that far away?
