Title: When the state does something, the county just has to replace it
Post by: Roadgeek Adam on August 09, 2009, 10:19:06 PM
Hey.

I live in a centralized area of New Jersey, and have come to notice that the state has put up new blade signs in my small community. Well, on NJ 27 at the intersection with Middlesex CR 622 (former 514 Spur). Just a few days ago, I was walking by, and the county, who just debuted brand new shields and blade signs, have taken down 2 of the 3 blade signs that the state put up all of a couple months ago.

Have this ever occurred near you. I should have a pic up soon :|

Also, Middlesex 622 now has old, worn out shields going up like brand new ones :|

Wow. Sounds like a colossal waste of time and money.

This is the state version :|

Strangely, the reverse has happened at the NJ 18/Middlesex CR 622 interchange

the county's were taken down for the state's :|

Corrected image link -S.

No wonder New Jersey is in dire need of money.

I'm looking forward to seeing those nice old shields in place.

Wow, it's identical except for the county name. Which is in such teeny letters it's probably unreadable from a car. Way to go, Middlesex County.  :ded:
