I think he also transited New Mexico, which explains it even more.

The next time you are offered a *FREE* all-inclusive trip to Las Vegas, always read the fine print to make sure that it is to 'Las Vegas, N*V*' and not to 'Las Vegas N*M*'!

You don't know the half of it, buddy.

Yeeeeeep. There's a subtle difference between New Mexico suck and Oklahoma suck I can't quite put my finger on. But they both suck.

Arizona isn't too great either at the moment because it seems like half the signs are in Clearview and half of them are in FHWA Series, which is worse than them all being in Clearview. I can handle Clearview when it's done to the consistency Texas does it, but rolling the random font die on each panel (even different signs for the same interchange!) is extremely annoying.

In contrast, I would rank Nevada's freeway signage somewhere in the top 10, at least going by what I've seen in metro Las Vegas. There are a few weird bugs here and there but they're infrequent enough I don't have a problem with them. Hell, Clark County does a better job than most states do.

You explained it well before:

ODOT signage is æsthetically garbage, violates norms of both graphic design and traffic control, and hurts your eyes to look at. But it's almost always there, and it's usually complete and mostly correct. ODOT signage sucks, but you can at least navigate with it. NMDOT sometimes can't even manage to clear that simple bar, to the point that it starts to negatively impact navigability. So there's a pretty good argument that NMDOT is worse than ODOT.

[Scott5114]

Well, by "can't quite put my finger on" I mean, in instances where NMDOT has a sign there that is "correct", it tends to suck in a way that Oklahoma signage doesn't.

Some NMDOT practices I saw that I couldn't imagine Oklahoma doing, but I'm not sure why I can't imagine Oklahoma doing it:
- Two consecutive off ramps to the same frontage road with the same signed exit number
- A gore point sign with the same thin aluminum and square perforated posts as a conventional-road sign, with just the text "EXIT/XXX" and no arrow 
- A two-lane pullthru sign with a single arrow pointed directly at the lane line

One thing I can put my finger on is that directional banners appear to be entirely optional in New Mexico, even on Interstates.

[JoePCool14]

The random font thing is something I could say about ISTHA. They don't do Clearview anymore, but a significant number of Clearview signs are still posted.

The cheap exit gore sign thing is totally an IDOT thing. Though at least they remember the arrow, even if it's an ugly arrow.

[kphoger]

A lot of NMDOT signage looks like it might have been installed by a one-armed teenager with a ground rod driver.  Oklahoma at least tends to erect signs that don't look like they're about to fall over.

[kirbykart]

Wow, I haven't heard much about New Mexico on this forum, now I'm hearing that its DOT is worse than OkDOT (I didn't think that was possible)! But, yeah, New Mexico sucks with lots of things, including their control cities. Ugh.
