Well, this parking sign is still there and still readable if one tilts one’s head. It is a victim of the building going up at 111 Kent Avenue, at the corner of N. 7 Street.

This battered bit of signage come from Dodworth and Broadway in Bushwick via the roving camera of Miss Heather. We’re not sure what we like more–the sign or the street lamp around which it is wrapped.

These signs at Beard and Dwight Street in Red Hook, across the street from the big Ikea site, looks like they’ve taken it on the chin from construction in the last couple of months. If one were into cheesy humor, one might say they were bent out of shape about their big blue-and-yellow friend.

This comes from Eckford and Manhattan Avenue via our Greenpoint Correspondent who said, “Perhaps they could relocated this one way sign to one of the many locations where said signs are defective.” Or, you know, fix the others.

We hope you know the way at Broadway and Madison in Bed-Stuy, because the sign tells you to, you know, go down. It comes from Miss Heather, special for GL.

This is the corner of N. 8 Street and Roebling. We have previously featured the stop sign in question, but it’s been joined by a “Lift Plow Blade” sign. The challenge, however, is seeing them through the construction scaffolding at the Karl Fischer building on the corner. Bricks now stacked in street make the game […]

This “Stop Ahead” sign entangled in construction goodness is on N. 5 Street in Williamsburg. It’s actually across the street from the Sign at Rest we featured yesterday. This one doesn’t rest. It perseveres.

This “Stop Sign Ahead” sign is friends with the building going up at Berry and N. 5 Street in Williamsburg that comes from Karl Fischer. It’s been working very hard and listening to a lot of construction noise and just want to take a break for a while.

In addition to only being placed about four feet of the ground and suffering a variety of indignities, this sign just got tagged up. It’s not remarkable compared to some, but there’s something we like about it because it’s somewhat diminutive.

This Alternate Side of the Street parking sign on Berry Street near N. 4 has been stickered up for a long time, but it just gained some advertising for a personal assistant. Why not? It’s not like you can read the sign.

This downed sign, which was felled by some sidewalk digging in the last few days, comes from Roebling Street and N. 11, right across the street from our friend, the Roebling Oil Building. Presumably, it’s only down until they stop digging and fix the sidewalk, unless they’re looking for oil…

[Photo courtesy of threecee/flickr] This contribution to our Say What series of street signs that have been compromised for a wide range of reasons (with our favorite being construction and second favorite being vandalism) comes from photographer Tracy Collins. This is a temporary sign announcing the closure of the Carlton Avenue Bridge, which is now […]

It comes from Starr Street in Bushwick and this One Way sign has got some serious curves. It comes to us courtesy of our Greenpoint Correspondent, who knows a good sign when she sees one and who spots them everywhere.

We don’t know how long this sign in Fort Greene that was felled by street work has been sitting there, but we suspect it has been down for a very long time, we also believe that an ongoing project at Rockwell Place near BAM rendered it irrelevant. It makes for a lovely photo, though.

This Williamsburg No Parking sign, on a street east of the BQE and south of Metropolitan Avenue has clearly seen better days, being both bent, stickered and kind of hanging there.

The development at 125 N. 10 has taken some liberties with street signage. We just noticed this amusing change to an alternate side parking sign. It may have happened earlier, but the sign sort of blends into its surroundings and is placed where one wouldn’t expect to find it.

This sign on Flushing Avenue gets extra points for hanging in there, so to speak. It comes from Bushwick and was sent by our Greenpoint Correspondent.

Can you find the One Way sign in this photo taken on Lewis Avenue in Bed-Stuy? It’s not that hard to locate in a photo, but we can see where it might be a bit challenging in a moving car and could result in some issues if the direction of the street in question is […]

While many of our battered street signs come from Williamsburg and Greenpoint, we came across this sign at Sixth Avenue and 23rd Street in Greenwood Heights, in between shooting photos of new developments and peering into construction sites. This sign, like most of those that catch our eyes, has seen better days.

Things have gotten a little bent out of shape at Norman Avenue and Dobbin Street in Greenpoint. This photo, of course, comes to us because of the sharp eyes of our Greenpoint Correspondent.

This sign isn’t a sign. It’s a bit of a display station for street art and stickers and the like. It is at Manhattan Avenue and Ash Street, which is located near the end of Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint near Newtown Creek. It goes without saying that the image comes from the busy camera of […]
