Title: Stuff written within Stop Signs
Post by: D-Dey65 on November 30, 2017, 10:36:42 PM
And I'm not talking about graffiti or bumper stickers, or any crap like that. I'm talking about additional messages above and below the word STOP in these signs.

Like this:

And this:

This would be acceptable too:

Should I add a list of the ones I already know about?

Toll booths used to bear stop signs with the additional message "PAY TOLL" or "GET TICKET" as appropriate. I think they were common on the Indiana Toll Road and the Ohio Turnpike. I quick check of GSV shows that those signs are gone. Perhaps someone has an old picture they could share.

Yes, "Pay STOP Toll" signs existed in the Northeast toll booths too.

Years ago at the end of the south-to-west ramp of Heckscher Parkway Spur, there was a sign that said "Two Way STOP Traffic" at Harwood Avenue.

I've also seen Dead STOP End and Four STOP Way

I think I've seen photos of the Pay STOP Toll, but don't remember where.

Forgot about this thread when I made the other post on Unique signs.

People have put graffiti on stop sign. It annoys me so much.

Did you read the first sentence of the OP?

Would the Quebec ones count?
