What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 88

Among the photographs which I took of what was once known as the Dick Hunter Memorial Bridge in Marietta in Georgia for the article 10 Suggestive Names of Real Locations Worldwide — Part 3: Male Appendage Version — thankfully, the name of the railroad overpass had since been changed to the Mayor Richard Hunter Memorial Bridge — was the following photograph.

  1. What is wrong is that the sign does not clearly indicate what it is trying to convey. Turn right into a wall. Right turn only for highway 120 west or that and highway 5 north. How about the 3 highways in opposite directions, like highway 5 south.

    What is also wrong, or more precisely, bad judgment is Brian’s decision not to get vaccinated. I hope he does not suffer bad outcomes nor cause others to suffer bad outcomes. Even if a vaccine is 95% effective and 100% of people get it, that would mean 15 million Americans are not covered. (Belgium only has 11M people and already has over 23,000 dead from Covid as well as countless others with long term health problems from Covid-19). I wish Brian the best (and hope he changes his mind by early summer)

  2. You might think it’s strange that you turn left to go west on Highway 360 and right to go west on Highway 120, and think “How can two opposite turns both take me west?” But this often happens, because the direction on the sign is the general, eventual direction of the highway, not the compass heading immediately after the turn. At this point (roughly 33.94749 north, 84.54912 west), we’re facing west. We can turn left onto Highway 360, which is headed south immediately after the turn and then turns west, or right onto Highway 120, which is headed north immediately after the turn and then turns west.

    Similarly, there’s a stretch of several miles of highway in Berkeley, California that is simultaneously part of Interstate 580 West and Interstate 80 East. That stretch of road is headed mostly north, and forks into Interstate 580, which heads west, and Interstate 80, which heads east.
