poorly designed signage makes you change routes.

I'm not often accused of fondling fonts, but...

Several years ago, the road near my mother's home received a new (lower) speed limit. But, when the signs were painted, the stencil for the "3" was held upside down and backwards. Although the "3" looked correct to the average person, it was obvious to me that the top half of the 3 was larger than the bottom half. It pains me to this day when I drive by. Luckily, my mother moved and I don't have to see it as often :)
