American/Anglophone-Canadian/Australian stop sign in Pembroke Parish, Bermuda.

The rest of stop signs in Bermuda are just normal UK ones.

Technically the poles themselves are at normal height...they're just sitting atop concrete pillars.

Also, unfinished bridge span:

Possibly abandoned ROW. You can literally put anything on Google maps these days.

And that is like 7 miles from the nearest rail line too! :Blink: Maybe BNSF is in the process of buying up farmland in order to build a branch line and a yard or something like that.

Don't see the point of this VIA station sign as it really isn't that close to the station.

Actually, that bridge span was finished, but is being removed, if I recall what a local up there had said about it on a Facebook post (about the signals in question as well).
They/Them for me, please.

It doesn't have to be close, either. Just showing the way is all

Reminds me of the fact that the Officer station sign here in Melbourne is located on the highway, even though the actual station is located 700 meters down Station Street.
