Signs With Design Errors

[mcdonaat]

Wait, would it not just be cheaper to add Airport under the word Indianapolis? If you're going to put it on a sign at least...

[hbelkins]

Not to worry, they way ODOT is replacing fairly new Highway Gothic BGS with Clearview BGS, this should only be an issue for maybe another year or two.   

In other words, Ohio is turning into Michigan.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as Worst of Road Signs or not, but it made me throw up in my mouth a little.


Neither the Turnpike banner nor the SH-9 shield are original to this gantry.

It doesn't quite qualify, but qualifies much more than most others in that thread.

[colinstu]

what font is that even? (besides it being stretched)

[jakeroot]

I understand from the previous position of this post that the blue signs are MUTCD compliant versus the white, but I keep seeing white above Interstate shields in my neck of the woods. Specifically, most newer installations have white signs instead of blue.

Because this needs wider circulation:

New assembly... oops

B or C.

New assembly... oops

Wouldn't that be Adirolf's Turnpike?

That's automatic criteria for qualifying. In this case, the BYS does (YUCK), the BGS are fine.

[hbelkins]

This is how it used to look. I thought I'd been there before, and I had.

If I had simply seen that picture somewhere else, I'd think the yellow sign was fake.

the 40mph banner on the ground mounted exit sign in the background is an addition as well

Yeah, those seem to be something in the 2003 MUTCD that Oklahoma really, really liked. They're all over metro OKC, and I believe Tulsa as well.

Note that while the sign was patched to mention SH-9, US-277 remains unmentioned.

So Florida is now "dressing right" rather than "dressing left"?

....it's taken me a little while, but I just about have the coffee cleaned off of the monitor...and my shirt....



Fixed quote, wiped up coffee ~S Thank you!!

In the same vein as the reversed Florida:



There are two of these on KY 1144 in Lee County, not too far from where I live.

JOLLY GOOD MATE! KEEP LEFT!

This is like the deer jumping to the right, or, my favorite, the reversed handicap logo. If you're not intimately familiar with the sign, you'll never catch it.

There's a "wet when slippery" sign like this along southbound US 41, north of Naples.

Do you mean it says "wet when slippery" instead of "slippery when wet"?

Lol, I was going to ask that same question. "Wet when slippery"?

I think what he's going for is that it's backwards, like the symbol sign pictured above.
