Is MoDot transitioning to a new style speed limit sign? I've seen a couple on I 49 north of Joplin with the limit and minimum speed on one sign.

That has been standard for a few years now... I seem to remember seeing it in the 2009? MUTCD
Yep. MUTCD R2-4a http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2b.htm#figure2B03
Thanks
That's a pity. When I saw the title of this thread I thought the number in a red circle was finally being adopted.
Wishful thinking eh :-|

Why would you want a speed limit sign to resemble a New Mexico state route marker?

Indeed, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the topic.

It wouldn't.

It may not duplicate it, but it does resemble it.
You mean, why would we want a speed limit that resembles standardized signs used across the world? Because, just like with our Metric adoption, we like to go at it alone!

What's the point? It really only affects signage in a very large country. Even the Canucks did it halfheartedly. There's still newer clearance signage in feet and inches on private property (such as the Polo Park Shopping Center parkade in Winnipeg, MB). As it is, we use both systems in daily practice.

Because we're Muricans dammit! :biggrin:
So ist the unit of measure for the speed stated on these new signs kilometers per hour?

No. Why would it be? They're just combining the minimum and maximum values into one panel.
