Title: Sign Salad II -- The Sequel: Most Signage for One Exit.
Post by: thenetwork on May 29, 2016, 06:27:54 PM
What is the most signage you have seen for a single exit on an interstate/freeway?  This would include any individual signs, including BGS's, supplemental signs, blue service signs, brown recreational signs and police/hospital signs from the first mention of the next exit to the gore sign.

My entry is on I-70 East in Fruita, CO, exit 19:

...for a total of 14 Individual signs denoting the upcoming exit!  This does not include the exit advisory speed or any of the signs on the exit ramp itself.

Others?

That would seem like an unusually high amount of guide/here-comes-the-exit signage for such a remote area.  A big/popular exit in an urban area, or a nearby exit to a vacation/resort spot (like Orlando, Las Vegas, etc), I could see having more signage in advance.

That BBrS in your #2 and #3 SV links, the one way off in the ditch--I still don't understand why any DOT or contractor would put a sign installation THAT far from the side of the road.  I would think there would be some kind of MUTCD-like regulation or guideline regarding sign placement distance from the side of a road.

I don't have pictures of it, but the advanced signage for the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway (Exit 27) off I-40 near Canton at least used to be a major sign salad of the type you're talking about.

Ordinarily, I would say the sign was put that far off the road so as to be outside the clear zone.  However, a closer look at the installation reveals that the posts are on breakaway slip bases.  Given the very close spacing between adjacent signs, my guess is that this sign was intentionally located that far off the road so as not to block the view of the next one.
