Philly's been using Clearview on its street blade signs even before the mixed-case rule took effect.

I think Philly street signs are easier to read. At least none that I know of are sun bleached, as opposed to several in NYC.

Governments don't have anything better to waste money on?
Well, they could blow it on something utterly pointless like actual road improvements.  :-P

So when will overheard signs in Clearview start appearing on... the Clearview Expressway?  ;-)

And isn't Clearview similar to the font used on European road signs?

The Washington/Baltimore/Arlington CSA has two Key Bridges, a Minnesota Avenue, and a Mannasota Avenue.

Unless NYSDOT starts using it in force (pretty unlikely), never going to happen. Most sections of Interstate highway are state-maintained, along with a several of the limited-access parkways. This includes the Clearview (except for the bridge, which is TBTA).
