New rules for political content in signatures and user profiles. See this thread for details.
The company, located off Riverside Drive, is substituting a tough, flexible recycled plastic called EcoStrate for aluminum as the “substrate” or foundation for a variety of signs.
Aluminum is probably a better material. It's easier to recycle than plastic.
I'm not opposed to plastic signs, especially if they reduce the amount of visible screws (something the UK figured out long ago).

That is, with the way it'd get implemented in this country.
Vancouver uses corrugated plastic for "keep right" signs in medians. Looks kinda cheap and flimsy, but I guess it gets the job done.https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2812984,-123.056578,3a,45.4y,47.77h,76.31t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2AmDSXcv-TptgkL6TzfCfQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
It's been a while since I've been to New Jersey, and longer since I've lived there, but last I saw, the 500-series routes usually had the same markers as state highways (but none of them had the shield when I was last there).The article says, "Burlington County will be ordering 2,000 mile markers, he said." So presumably the sign pictured is real and for that order.
