The national sign standard is rectangular, but I see that a few states have switched over to the rounded style. NY, VA, NC and FL are some examples of this. What other states use the rounded signs?
EDIT: So far, those are the only four states that use the rounded style, so the answer is none.
By rounded, are you referring to strictly the corners of signs?
For freeway-size/style signs; the use of rounded corners is typically done on single-sheet sign panels. Extruded sign panels maintain the 90-degree angled corners.

Yes, I am.

The MUTCD doesn't require square corners on signs. But it does give the option that sign panel area outside the rounded border edges may be trimmed. I think most states just don't do this because it's not worth the extra time/expense.

It usually has to do with the type of sign (extruded vs incremental panels) but I believe New York has a rule or law that the corners have to be rounded for safety issues, to avoid a hazard for sign installers.
I've seen both here and there throughout North Carolina and Georgia.

Would leave VA out as most installations have been rectangular for the most part.
NJ uses rounded signs on their toll highways: NJ Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.
So that leaves only 3 states that actively use rounded corners.
You didn't need to bump a thread from the last Presidential administration when there's one already active on the exact same topic, that you full well know about because you created it.
