At least there's a sign there. There's at least two major intersections along Grapevine Highway/Highway 26, one of them I believe being the Glade Road intersection, that have *no signs* in any direction.

At least with "ade" you can guess that it's probably Glade and not Cheek-Sparger.

[explination for people not from DFW: Glade is the road you can't see here. Cheek-Sparger and Glade both cross Highway 26 as major intersections]

Just think, if it was Cheek-Sparger, you'd at least see the "Sparger" :)

I can imagine what happened: the guy who was dispatched to put up the stop sign got there, saw the problem, and thought, "eh. Not my problem. I'm just doing as I'm told."

It reminds me of something I see a lot in the NYC subway. A room with a sign on the door that says something like "maintenance", and another sign in a slightly different style, two inches below the first one, that also says "maintenance." Better to just follow directions than to make waves by being smart.

Think you've got problems? Half the intersections in London have no street signs at all, hidden or otherwise! And many streets only keep the same name for one block as well...

To clarify, you could not see even "ade" unless you stand in the flower bed, where I took this second picture. From your car, all you see is the RD/3500 at the right. I believe this is now fixed. Another win for humanity.
