Erroneous road signs

[plain]

US 31 Example?

US 31 Example?

No, it's signage for former (ex-) US 31.

Is it US Route 42 being labelled "south"? Not super familiar with this area.

Saw this today on Interstate 55 southbound just south of Hernando, MS.  The sign should read "Next Rest Area 38 Miles" instead of implying that the rest area goes on all the way to Batesville.

When I eventually get some signs up in a garage or something, I should do something like that just to mess with people.

North Bridge Street to Somerville is not straight ahead. It's a right turn onto the RIRO you see where the sign is placed.

In 2019 it was correct.

PA 443 has apparently been extended to replace a segment of US 209.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10218147734285348&set=a.10218147800607006)

Recently saw this set of erroneous signs in Teays Valley, West Virginia: 
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.449868,-81.9403305,3a,15y,51.94h,92.3t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQAj8jyr22Ru_w8LWsSo2QA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4507223,-81.939529,3a,15y,277.1h,90.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNU8RnljcRjpC6ff3ZpjpDg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

CR-46 at this location is now incorrectly shown as "Scott Depot Road".  It was previously shown correctly as "Poplar Fork Road" in 2015:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4498834,-81.9403716,3a,15y,64.1h,88.78t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sa2Mj0D5NKsGTlR6hD1B0Uw!2e0!5s20150901T000000!7i13312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4507379,-81.9395626,3a,23.4y,279.62h,87.77t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYk31cPOeZgp2rkmm97khkg!2e0!5s20150901T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Indeed, where CR-46 intersects US-60 on Coal Mountain the road is correctly signed as "Scott Depot Road":  https://www.google.com/maps/@38.3994873,-81.899637,3a,15y,292.58h,98.2t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZlrYhkxl-fVe5h-1NYFBpQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Scott Depot Road used to run from Coal Mountain over to the Scott Lane grade crossing adjacent to the Scott depot on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, now CSXT (in Scott Depot, of course).  WVDOH still shows the right-of-way for Scott Depot Road as CR-46/2 as "primitive road" coming off the paved CR-46 and headed over the mountain.  There is a new McMansion using this road as part of their loop driveway, then the road fades into oblivion. 



Sure enough, the other end of CR-46/2 in Scott Depot is also erroneous:  https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4472863,-81.9113365,3a,15y,303.21h,89.04t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s14_hGEqRicJWYrej6oYH2A!2e0!5s20211101T000000!7i16384!8i8192

The sign for Scott Lane should be pointed the other direction and the route number should be CR-46/2.  This was correctly posted in the opposite direction back as shown back in 2015:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4472514,-81.9118423,3a,15y,105.36h,83.56t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3UU4cxiTCS-lrI_CtQ7g7w!2e0!5s20150901T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Note the streetblade for Tiger Lane is also technically wrong, as it is a private street sign.  Tiger Lane (named after the local elementary school mascot) is indeed CR-33/7 and ends near I-64 to the north.  So this sign should say "Tiger Lane" instead of "Scott Lane".  Scott Lane continues across the railroad tracks and follows the old route of Scott Depot Road for a short distance before it also fades into oblivion.

St. Helens, OR off of US-30 - either I took a portal to the South or the state finally got the Astoria-Portland freeway it wanted in the 50's


There's at least 2 more identical signs further down the road: https://goo.gl/maps/Ltte7hF7gtGC7HkY8

Is the speed limit 35 or 40?

The arrow for NJ 94 south points in a direction  there is no road here.

I see the need for the shield so drivers don't make the first right onto that the side road, but it shows that there is a road straight across the intersection.

I don't see the issue given the lane and intersection configuration.

I actually don't mind these Pennsylvania Turnpike "hybrids", but that 276 is supposed to be an Interstate shield:

[roadman65]

That photo is not showing that hybrid you speak of.

This though looks like US 13 in Bristol where the Jersey Jughandle is past Route 413, I'm guessing.

Try panning the photo to the right...

I've seen those for 76 and 476 as well.

US 17 SB apparently turns north as you head towards Hertford.

This sign should be the other way around. Del. Mem. Br. Use Turnpike South.

Though one could argue that it refers to the Delaware Turnpike as if both New Jersey and Delaware Turnpikes are continuous.

Same issue here, just on a newer sign. Also note the new state-name I-295 Shield on the right
