Sign Design Fail

Thx Ivanov

fail owned pwnd pictures

Google Maps FTW (Thx Qwertz):
Here’s the location. You can even see the signs on the street view, although someone seems to have run over a part of the signs on the left… no doubt trying to read it.

you must REALLY love signs.

Like if a sign walked into a bar, you’d be all “DAMN, look at that sign right there, she’s really something- that there sign is a damn one of a kind. They shure don’t make em like that no more. Nope. NOt since the government and all. YEEEHAW-I love signs. I gave birth to a sign once.”

 
Randy

I can’t believe you didn’t go for the “Hey there, hot lookin’ sign, what’s your sign?” joke.

 
Ordon

Did you just quote Shamalan?

 
 
jamiee

of course it is in NC. and right outside a liquor store… funny.

 
 
 
douchescrote

3rd! 4th! idiot!

 
 
Hermes

This is a stupid fail. I hate it. It looks like some idiot just collected signs. I don’t buy it. Fail fail.

Hermes

Also, some of the signs don’t even have poles. Photoshop fail.

RogueThree

They don’t have to. If you were to look for longer than two seconds, you would see that the ones that “don’t even have poles” are attached to the others via metal bars.

 
CHARLES

who want’s to believe their eyes anyway- EYESIGHT WIN!

 
 
Susan

Um can’t any of you see the link that says HERE’S THE LOCATION?! It’s a real place and you can see another view of the same street sign and it’s REAL. It’s in Concord NC. And yeah, NC has the most effed up road system I’ve ever seen. So does SC. I don’t know what their problem is.

Just me

I’ll second that it is real. I live in Concord, NC and drive past it every day.

The roads here are nuckin futs.

Just me

Let me just add that I am so happy that they have not mapped my street
yet. My patio is a mess!

 
VS

I grew up near there, so I’ll third that it’s real - that’s a confusing intersection… and poorly planned.

 
 
meg

oh dearie, the link to googlemaps wasn’t there the whole time.

also, i live in SC and while SC is ridiculous as hell regarding having any idea where the hell you’ll end up if you turn onto any given road, NC’s highways make me want to rip my brains out everytime i’m up there. D:

 
 
 
sh*t

You’re a fail! STUPID fail! It’s on a metal bar attached to the pole.

kwaping

Fail fail - it’s either stuipd win or intelligence fail.

 
 
Ross

Hey, I live nearby to this and although I don’t drive past it often, I can vouch for this mess of signage. It’s real, and really confusing. Thank goodness I have a GPS or else I’d get lost here in NC!

plasticbuses

hahaha….agreed! I love NC….and I’ve come to view navigating through the state as an extra (bonus?) adventure. (randomly pick a street and ignore the signs)

 
Komadori

I’ve had GPS fail there, though…

“Turn right on ‘A Local Road’.”

c.c “WTF?”

“At the next signal, make a legal U-turn…” etc.

*sigh* A local road, indeed. c.c

 
 
 
JDS

No Photoshop. that is in PA not far from NJ. don’t remember the city name but I was lost over there looking for the 201. Big trucks and little towns don’t mix!

JDS

Iza tard, wrong state. but I was there and it is real. long hual trucker, it’s hard to keep your states streight.

 
VS

That’s definitely not in PA but in Concord, NC (per the Google map link and personal experience, having lived there).

 
 
 
 
Cracker

Notice the horizontal poles. This is North Carolina for you. I know of a few places like this around my area.

 
andy

i think you fail to understand the complexity of american idiocy or laziness.

hey…theres already a pole there….why dont we just nail this here sign up there sos we aint gotta dig no hole.

 
Anonymous

Have you every been to jersey?

 
Confused

This is for real…This pic is found in Concord, NC. I drive by this often. you can actually mapquest concord NC and see that intersection of numbered hell.

 
billyvd

“This is a stupid fail. I hate it. It looks like some idiot just collected signs. I don’t buy it. Fail fail.”
COMMENT FAIL

Bullshit, I live there and those signs are real. It just happens to be an intersection of several important roads. Of course it could be designed better but it’s kind of a joke around here so I don’t think anyone wants to get rid of it. Plus if you have your bearings, all of the signs make sense.

 
 
Not Me

This should’ve been in National Lampoon’s Vacation movie. Which way is Wally World??

Centurey

Hah, you’re right.

 
 
3ntropy

this looks like north carolina. the most f*cked up road design and maintenance system known to man.

meg

trufax

and yeah…photoshop fail.

sh*t

Not a photoshop fail. It’s the real thing, dickwad.

Anonymous

it really is real. i lived in that state for a while. i’ve that kind of shit there before

andy

sounds like theyre trying to keep you in state to spend money. indiana does the same thing only they have a blackhole that uses its gravity field to suck you close to indianapolis.

 
 
meg

way to get way too offended over the internets, bb.

Causing travelers to give up and head for home since 1968!

CHARLES

but what will cause travelers to give head-i’m still trying to figure that one out. cause RUFIES don’t work.
neither does hot coffee :(

stfu

depends on the kind of hitchhiker you pick up.

Best is that you turn left for East 73, but go straight for East-Truck 73, which is also West 73(normal and truck).

 
bluesoul

Reminds me of the George Carlin bit about Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia.

“The Asian country known as Mongolia used to be called Outer Mongolia. And just below the Outer Mongolian border with China there was an autonomous region called Inner Mongolia. And since each of them had its own inner and outer regions, that means that at one time there existed, fairly close to one another, an “outer Inner Mongolia” and an “inner Outer Mongolia.” I like that sort of thing. I like picturing the road signs and all the people taking wrong turns.”

I miss George so hard. :(

geo

George makes me so hard too

CHARLES

I bet goerge is hard. stiff more like it

Susan

Wow. You are a real weiner.

aaaaanon

if it was unintended, they would have spelled it right. logic FAIL

This is in Charlotte, NC. I’ve seen it before.

RogueThree

Really? I live like thirty minutes from Charlotte, perhaps I should go find it sometime.

Not Me

good luck finding your way home!

 
 
zen_kitteh

Actually, I believe this is Concord, NC, about 20 mi northeast of Charlotte (I grew up there).

But for all the “fail” nature of the signage … this part of the U.S. is currently one of the only areas where housing property values are actually rising, rather than going in concertedly fail direction.

So maybe that’s the answer to the housing crisis: post more highway signs?

James and the Giant Peach

You’ve got to be kidding me. EVERY SINGLE PERSON thinks that ‘thier’ part of the housing slump isn’t affected. If it were to be true for a place, then I’d guess some ultra-rich part of somewhere, like Scottsdale or Mission Beach. 20 minutes outside of Charlotte is NOT one of those places.

Owned.

hmm

Charlotte is one of those places.

Is “thier” the possessive of “thiy?”

 
zen_kitteh

Oh, you owned me so much. I was going by the national news reports of LAST WEEK. I see that today ABC News reports that the Charlotte area, as of July 2, is for the first time experiencing a downward trend in home prices … of 0.1%.

CaeruleanXII

For the first time? How long has the housing bust went on now?
Your Failboat stays the course!
