Anybody else here decorate their room with guide signs, traffic lights and other items of roadgeekery? Here's my room:

My apartment's living room has the following signs up, plus a few more not yet online:

That's mindbogglingly beautiful - my collection save for the speed limit sign is only a few months old but it'll grow with time.

Lawn Guyland roflmao!! I think that's pretty clever! Oh and your room decor is very nice also!

[nyratk1]

There's some people (they probably post here as well) with some amazing displays on Youtube - especially the guy with the no dumping, hazardous waste prohibited and no soliciting signs in his bathroom.

that is about one-tenth of a sign collection!

WOW!    Can I be in your will? 

What's the diamond stop?

sure, but they're not my signs so I fail to see how you'd benefit! 

the diamond stop sign is an Auto Club of Southern California item from 1915-1923 or so.

I have a few signs, but not many on the walls. When I was a kid I had a roadsign bed spread. I don't think I have any photos of it

These 3M strips are amazing.

I got most of my stuff up on the walls. When I move out it is going to be a pain.

^^ Those Maryland signs are awesome!!!!!

Most of my signs are jammed in my room, yet, still managed to be all organized in a way.

That Maine 202A   I don't even see it on a map. What is the story with the sign?

[KEK Inc.]

How the hell do you guys get those signs?  I personally wouldn't want to clutter my room with shields, but having one or two would be cool.

eBay, antique stores, yard sales, Craigslist and for the new ones I got - various sign manufacturers

The button copy ceiling is awesome - ceiling needs to be painted green though

I asked the people at MaineDOT, and they didn't know. They said it could have been for a never built suffixed route for US 202 (more than likely), or it could have been a sign for NH 202A in New Hampshire. The "A" is under "202" because there wouldn't be enough room for all 4 digits on one line.

I like the ceiling button copy BGS too, Anyways here's some of my signs that I'm using as wall art:






The speed limit sign already had a number painted over before I got it, anyone know how to get paint off the sheeting? 




This one is just hiding one of those plastic set of drawers from view and I guess the upside down streetlamp also counts as road decor 

[Mr_Northside]

Since you have both an I-68 & MD-68 hanging up, I think you need to find a way to get the BGS that alerts motorists to the difference between the two.

Also, in the pic that should be right above my post, There is a company with a lot across the street from me, who apparently was contracted by the city (Pittsburgh) to replace a bunch of "old" light heads (probably not the correct term) with new LED ones... I only bring it up cause just this morning I couldn't sleep in because they were moving the pile of old ones from one place to another, and it was LOUD. /rant

Wow those rooms are so awesome. Unfortunately, European road authorities almost never post trailblazers, which means virtually all road numbers are just integrated on the signs... so no rooms full of road numbers for European road enthusiasts...

One of the walls in my living room.


This is interesting.  I found this big plot of the Lake Parkway in Milwaukee at my work and gave it a new home over my bed.  This only covers the original stretch of the Lake Parkway from the southern terminus of I-794 to Layton Ave.


Here's a close-up of the Carferry Dr interchange.

Here's the only sign I currently have hanging on the wall:


Here's my refrigerator.  I made the magnets out of car emblems.

This is obviously not my bedroom, but I found this in a model home I was looking at a couple years ago:

I... am not a decorator. Three walls of my room are covered in nothing except blueish white paint, the fourth is covered in fox hunting wallpaper which was there when we moved in that in 14 years I never bothered to remove. The only exception to any of this is a single, fake, scaled down (12" x 12" diagonal) "Road Construction Ahead" sign that I got as a christmas present years ago:


Although, there is my dresser which we spraypainted when I was about six years old:


Colors chosen for obvious reason.

I won an auction for a 3M HV traffic signal and I'm putting that sucka in the room

It's good to have a Ghanaian on this forum. Or is that supposed to represent Bolivia?

I'm jealous! Any photos?
