This sign is on southbound Garden Street just before Carrillo Street. City hall and El Presidio are two blocks down. Seems like somebody forgot to proofread the signs. Plus if somebody were to turn right here they would be able to access 101 easily.

The sign makes sense if you assume it’s for someone new to the area and not familiar with our one-way streets. If headed for the Presidio or City Hall, the directions would get you onto Anacapa to access public parking lots. There are none on Garden. And the Garden freeway onramps are actually just a bit closer than Carrillo (but not by much).
My guess is if you follow these directions to City Hall, they will next direct you down Anacapa, then right on De La Guerra. Probably better to keep traffic off the lower parts of Garden in favor of 2 lanes on Anacapa. Not really enough info here to say the signs are “wrong.”
We used to like the concept of sending Tourons on a Taco Tour. Send them off slightly in the wrong direction so instead of getting to their destination efficiently they’d take the Red Tile Tour and then maybe spend some money at a small locally owned business.
