Wide IA 9 shield in Waukon

KCRG had a story last week about Waukon’s preparations as a host town for RAGBRAI. At the 2:01 mark of the video above is a shot of downtown. There is a “Jct 9” assembly visible — and the 9 is on a wide shield. That’s ridiculous.

(It seems that Iowa’s conformation to MUTCD standards is deliberately set to create things that annoy me. But since 9 is a single-digit highway, this is not an issue with the MUTCD but an error.)
