Blind Melon wrote their song about 3 but I think that 9 is a much more deserving number.
This road sign was submitted by an amazing road sign enthusiast from Kentucky. H. B. has a great website featuring many road signs. This sign is a really nice winner.
The math on this sign is so elegant. It is straightforward and seductively laid out. You can almost see a “+” sign in between the 2 and 7. The 9 just sits at the bottom waiting after you’ve put the other numbers together.
2 + 7 = 9
This sign is located in Carter County, Kentucky. It is at the intersections of highways 2, 7 and 9 near Grayson, KY. The GPS coordinates are N 38 27.469 W 83 4.005. See sign on map!
For this sign H. B. will be receiving a FREE Road Sign Math T-Shirt! Thanks for the sign H.B.!
