"I surprise people when I tell them I'm kind of introverted,"  she says, fully surprising me. "A great day for me is crafting and watching TV, so the pandemic was a little easier for me than a lot of people. It gave me a chance to really spend extra time making things. I have a couple personal projects that came out of the pandemic. One of them is Tiny Highways USA.

"Basically I've been making miniature highway signs, recreating existing ones in miniature and posting them by the actual sign."

Those are probably the best looking Clearview signs I've ever seen.

Why is the 1 on the first sign green on white while the other signs have it as white on green?

Artistic take on actual signs?  There isn't one in field to match that I'm aware of.  Mount Tamalpais isn't on CA 1 but rather Panoramic Highway.

Agreed.  I would consider buying some if she starts selling them.

I don't care that they're Clearview, I like them. I wish the numbers in the shields were FHWA but eh, it's whatever.
