Ugly!


Mutant US 202 Shield
A rather sorry-looking US 202 shield (New Salem, MA)

There are several "cut-out" US 3 shields (the type intended for a "big green sign") on and near the freeway portion of US 3 in Massachusetts.
This sign on MA 68 must have been replaced during a budget crunch or something.

A few circle Mass. State Route signs exist. I wonder if Mass. switched to a circle and switched back to a rectangle after a very short time.

The extra w-i-i-i-de shoulders of I-190 in Mass. This was done to protect the Wachusetts Reservoir, a source of Boston's drinking water.

This never-used bridge, built in the late 1950s, was intended to carry the southbound lanes of I-95 over US 1 in Revere, MA. The portion of would-be I-95 that was actually built (behind me here) became a freeway US 1.

What? (Fitchburg, MA)

Leominster Mass. sometimes uses a handy sign blank for other than its intended purpose.

Many very old diamond warning signs still stand along Massachusetts state routes.
