Title: Florida Toll Route Signage Question
Post by: SignGeek101 on October 18, 2014, 01:37:41 AM
Hey all,

My apologies for not knowing much about Florida signs, but I have a question. Lately I was on Streetview looking around central Florida highways and noticed these signs. The toll shield does not contain the Florida outline, just the number.

I go to another region west, and see a toll shield with the Florida outline and highway number.

Is it normal to have both designs or there a design error of some type?

The former style has a red/orange Florida outline that's faded over time. Here's a 2003 photo:

The signs on I-95 were changed out when the highway was six-laned late last year.

The left one wasn't. (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cocoa+fl&ll=28.408218,-80.820193&spn=0.013495,0.024784&num=100&hnear=Cocoa,+Brevard+County,+Florida&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=28.408295,-80.820201&panoid=is3JX5pHJyxKe2HqEhKl6A&cbp=12,38.74,,0,-15.64)
