Ohio Sign Goofs

Part of the Buckeye State Roads Gateway


Ohio is a huge state, and thousands of miles of highway are maintained within its confines. As much as possible, accuracy in signage is assured along these roads. However, there are times when a U.S. route number is erroneously placed in an Ohio route marker, or a name on a sign is misspelled, or some other sign goof occurs. This page is dedicated to those signage gaffs that occur on the highways and by-ways of the Buckeye State. If you come across a sign goof and can get a photo of it, please let me know! Contact me at michohioroads#yahoo.com (change "#" to "@" to e-mail). Also, if you have noticed that any of the signage errors below have been corrected, please let me know about that, too!

On this sign truss just outside of Cadiz, the US 22/US 250 East guide sign is paired with an erroneous OH 250 West exit sign.

This newer, erroneous OH 68 North reflective sign is at the on-ramp to US 68 North from OH 334 near Springfield.

Just west of the downtown Eaton intersection with US 127/OH 732, there is this OH 35 shield goof on US 35/OH 122 West.

The first reassurance marker for US 22 in downtown Cincinnati should actually be accompanied by an OH 3 shield. Instead, a US 3 shield was erected beneath it.
