What? All 6s look like upside down 9s…
You can tell these are upside down 9s because of how they are.
I put my phone upside down and they still look weird from that angle.
The font they used is terrible and doesn’t match any serious road sign I’ve ever seen.
You’re right, they look better as sixes. It’s just a goofy font.
must be the exit to Aspen
This is my favorite comment of the week ao far, kudos.
Dept. of Highways be like:
That reminds me of a terrible old joke:
A young worker is putting on house siding when the foreman shows up, the foreman notices the young worker tossing every couple of nails out into the yard from his pouch. When the foreman asks “why are you throwing the nails out”, the young worker says “well they’re pointed the wrong direction I can’t hammer them into the wall”. To this the foreman replies “you idiot! Those are for the other side of the house!“
Ha!
The sign for exit 99 is ready.
You mean, 66?
Um yeah…sure
frantic scraping noisesSir, lemmyshitposting is around the block.
This is just the “getting to know you” phase or offramp meetups. In 3 exits they’ll be in a nicer position.
Interstate exits aren’t numbered sequentially anymore, but instead by mile marker. It’s easier to insert new exits without messing up the numbering that way.
The “nice” exit, if it exists, would be three miles away, not necessarily three exits away.

Does exit 99 use two upside-down sixes?
edit: typo
It looks like they just rotated the holes 90 degrees by accident
It uses two upside down nines because if it only used one upside down nine, it would say that it was exit 69, and everybody would be stealing the sign all the time.
