Do you see a problem here? Look closely. As why.i.hate.dc notes in a deserted Sunday photo walking tour from Georgetown to Chinatown, the sign for 17th Street NW was put up incorrectly at the corner of 17th and M streets NW. Perhaps this has been taken care of, but all of this points to a larger quality control problem at the District’s Department of Transportation. Have you seen any incorrect signage lately?
Last year, a navigational sign at the corner of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue pointing to the Key Bridge and “Virginia Ave.” was replaced with one with one reading just “Virginia.”
But one signage crisis that hasn’t been attended to is how the District really has no idea where Route 29 runs through the city.
