Title: Odd signs
Post by: tolbs17 on April 25, 2021, 06:43:25 PM
This sign has no control cities on them!

No control cities on signs isn't unusual (especially for minor interchanges).

This one (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8736319,-84.6299574,3a,58.9y,55.2h,99.31t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s44Nesgf78WYpjKx8SDfLdw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) is pretty odd if I say so myself.

Yes, this thread. Make sure to use the search function before creating a new thread (and read the front page). Although sometimes it doesn't work very well.

I would say the 2nd link is the more unusual one for signs of this size in North Carolina.

The first interchange has control cities, just on a separate sign - https://goo.gl/maps/oochHezEp3oLpLFz9

Did see that, but it's kinda odd of how it's not all on one sign.

Did see that, but it's kinda odd of how it's not all on one sign.

That is standard operating procedure for a few states, New Hampshire being one of them.

So this thread will be moved I'm sure.
Or likely locked.  We don't need it, because a  similar thread already exists.  And its within the same board (traffic control) and its usually among the top within that list, because it gets posts practically daily.

New York being another, although our shields are usually standalone, not on a BGS like the NC example.
