Is this the smallest extruded aluminum sign ever?
I-291. Chicopee, MA.

Wouldn't that be more of an LGS?

The term LGS usually implies single ply sheet aluminum construction, like what a stop sign or something might be made out of.

So this is a little big green sign.

Too bad you didn't have a tape measure. I'm thinking those are 6" panels though?

It looks to be roughly the same height as the mile marker just before it.

That's about right, suprised it's not just a sheet metal sign
