Looking west from DC 295 at the PA Ave. bridge across the Anacostia River.


EB in that same area (on the east shore), a very screwed-up shield and a screwed up signal sign at 28th St. SE. First of all, the three corners are at right angles. Start from there and draw a decent shield, then add Highway Gothic font. Second of all, you don't need a signal advance sign when there's a traffic signal right there - and a block or two before, and a few blocks ahead, etc. Third of all, don't install it upside-down (notice two bolt holes filled). And finally, definitely don't install it upside-down when you have a signal right there that you can compare it to.


As bad as the DC 295 shield was, at least it had the route designation right. These WB signs get the wrong font and the wrong shield wrapped up into one. Oh, and while there is indeed an I-295 in the DC area, it's to the south, not north.
