This is very wrong. US 75 is no where near Houston.

It was down there until its truncation in 1987. That may be a very old sign or just a modern screwup.

[ozarkman417]

I would put this in the state/US mixup thread, but I don't think Virginia uses square shields.

US 60 & 220, Covington, VA

[roadman65]

If it were TX SH 75 I would, but this is not any kind of Route 75 here.

[US 89]

If it were TX SH 75 I would, but this is not any kind of Route 75 here.

But as was mentioned above, US 75 used to extend past Dallas, through Houston, and on to Galveston. So that was likely correct when it was put up, and now it’s a cool relic.

Where in Houston did you see this? As mentioned already, US 75 used to terminate at Galveston.

Some may not spot the error.

[US71]

Major error: you're on 64, but approaching AR 5

It met 3/4-way between "meat cleaver" shield and empty circle.

Maybe the CHAZ department of transportation (CHAZDOT) has influenced the signage of SDOT?

[US71]

Should be south AR 59. US 59 is 7 miles away in Oklahoma

Forgive my ignorance, but what's erroneous?

I-90

[kphoger]

Oh.  Just another 'wrong shield blank' error.

And they centered the exit tab. A twofer.

[kphoger]

I personally love the look of centered exit tabs.

[rte66man]

I personally love the look of centered exit tabs.

Agreed. Plus you don't have to deal with an interim post sticking up for a right justified tab.

Yeah, but relatively speaking, this is pretty weird in WA. Last time I can think of an Interstate/State Route mix-up was in the early 2000s, when I-705 was shown as WA-705.

I think US/State Route mixups are far more common.

about 1986 I read in the paper that Washington was planning on upgrading Highway 18 to Interstate standards.  And then I saw an Interstate 18 shield posted a few blocks north of Green River Community College when I was riding in a car.  It was quickly replaced, and I didn't have a digital camera then anyway.

Was it a joke I-18 put up by someone in the community in support of the upgrade, or an actual I-18 shield installed erroneously?

[STLmapboy]

This left exit sign and this exit only sign should not be used for a signalized left turn! And these signs are only 5 years old. Great job MoDOT.

What they had before was better, even if it didn't mention I-64.

It looked very authentic for the two seconds that I saw it.  This was years before Photoshop.

On I-85 in Charlotte, NC:

Exit 46B doesn't exist heading southbound. It does exist northbound, but that sign uses an ampersand rather than a hyphen. So it's probably not a case of "just copy the other sign".

Southbound sign:


Northbound sign:

A stop sign is supposed to mean that there's a cross street (or pedestrian/bike path) that you have to stop for. There is no cross street here. This dirt road is part of a semi-private property shortcut from one area to another part of the same residential area. Apple Maps thinks it's a real road but not Google Maps, and OSM has it as a thin line, thinner than regular streets. What are you supposed to stop for here? It should probably say "Do not enter — residents only", except that it's too late to comply if you're already on the street and not a resident.
