Hello everybody
I saw this I 395 shield today in Putnam. I notice that instead of saying (Connecticut) it says Conn. Is this new??

Probably a contractor error. The white border is not constant width.

and they are '57 spec. gorgeously wrong. who pulled the '57 layout and the 30s-50s manual that stated that CONN must go up top on every shield?

I knew the width was totally not right.

Wow! I haven't seen "CONN" since that ancient state route sign off of I-91 South in New Haven! :wow:

Take away "CONN" and I would've thought that was a Rhode Island sign installation!

Those are on the exiting side of the driveway for a newly-reconstructed Wal-Mart parking lot. So the signs were erected by Wal-Mart's contractor doing finish work on the driveway. Interesting that they went with a really old spec.
