Recycled Road Signs

[Kacie Jane]

Thanks to the photo quality, I'm pretty gosh-darn (but not 100%) sure that the 2 is on top, but I don't know how I'd be expected to figure that out driving past, even at only 25 mph.

There's some road work signs for some work going on in my town, and I swear there are at least 10 layers of orange tape on it.

Barnwell County's Public Works Department (now called the Engineering Department) used to recycle their old Street Name signs. They won't be able to do that anymore as the sign blanks and lettering of the signs now fall below the new minimum requirements.

"Slow" (or, perhaps "slaw"?  ) sign repurposed to a stop sign. Middletown, KY.

That's supposed to be a flagger paddle.

Some sign recycling near the Tugaloo River on an old alignment of US 123, near the Georgia-South Carolina border:

They took both them down and replaced them, and i can't find pictures, but they recycled a mile marker off I-55 and used it as a traffic light street sign, and they used an old US-67 shield for a US 61 shield.

It appears that this service sign on Hwy 85 SB just off the Northfield on-ramp was placed on top of an old exit sign. You can see part of the original sign on the bottom left:


The GSV from Oct 2015 doesn't have the bottom-left tab section fallen off


This GSV image from the side shows the two layers of signage

Not sure if this counts as "recycled" per se, but it's been renumbered several times.

Perhaps more than just renumbered–I see the ghost of a circle underneath the Missouri shield. Perhaps this is a contractor's sign that had originally been used as an Iowa or Kentucky route marker then re-skinned for Missouri (where that company also operates)?

Since this is the more current thread, I'll just leave these here. Pass With Care -> Speed Limit 30 -> Speed Limit 5 at the Post Office in Brownsboro, AL, likely supplied by Madison County:

What'd you do, unbend the signpost?
