PERRYVILLE, Md. — Right after paying the one-way $5 toll for the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway there is this awful I-95 sign:

This is easiest the ugliest shield on a mainline big green sign^* I have ever seen on I-95. It is almost as if the Maryland Transportation Authority, administrator of the toll road, is saying “we’re charging you an arm and a leg, but are going to put up ugly signs, just because we can.”

^*I’m excluding the odd shields on the old school variable rotating signs on the N.J. Turnpike spurs though.
