Title: North Dakota County Signs
Post by: M86 on July 02, 2016, 04:58:00 AM
Did North Dakota do away with signing county lines?  I've traveled most of the SE quadrant of the state, and it's more not signed then is.

Wasn't really paying attention, but the SW corner seemed to have the same problem last week.

I've seen Clearview font county signs (Near Bismarck).

But it just seems very sporadic and rare now.

I've always found that differing by county, as I believe they get to determine how to handle their county roads.  There is no state standard for this that the counties have to follow.    For instance, Stark County never signed any county roads, until they decided to sign old US 10 as Stark County 10.  That's pretty much the only one with a sign in the whole county.  On the other hand, Mercer and Morton Counties have tons of signed county roads all over the place.

I'm talking about Interstates, US Highways, and State Highways signing county lines.

Example of signed: 
US 83 - Burleigh/McLean County Line (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.1580916,-100.7938381,3a,34.4y,179.41h,84.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1KnHa7YcxFkM7lqnVtqpFw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1)
US 281 - Eddy/Foster County Line (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.5884276,-99.1174275,3a,40.5y,28.15h,83.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSwhqvIjsx1VwoyYQsEfKxA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1)

Examples of not signed:
US 281 - Dickey/LaMoure County Line (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dickey+County,+ND/@46.2826113,-98.6600857,3a,75y,344.02h,86.51t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYJmaUzw6dMw5m3cnG556zg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DYJmaUzw6dMw5m3cnG556zg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dsearch.TACTILE.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D392%26h%3D106%26yaw%3D251.47136%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x52d1ebc0a10dba1b:0xbea2b828d6e0dda8!8m2!3d46.1265285!4d-98.4554399!6m1!1e1)
