Too bad they changed out the roof sign. Neat to see the road sign still up. Cool older Dollar General sign in the background too!
The imagery is from 2013. The road sign could very well be changed out at this point

EDIT: Yep, it's gone. Modernized

Land Rover's been selling cars over here for a few years now. I know we have a dealership here in Huntsville as I've been seeing ads on TV and hearing ads on the radio for "Land Rover Huntsville".
They/Them for me, please.

Is this sign supposed to deter trucks from having collisions with bridges or overhead highway signs?

The left lane is considered the "passing lane" for passing slow traffic, and trucks (tractor trailers) tend to drive slower than normal motor vehicles. It's a deterrent to prevent traffic congestion.

That's a Winkomatic school beacon, which are somewhat rare. Nice find!

Virginia has a lot of those style of beacons on school speed limit signs.
