Last month, I went Roads Scholaring on Cincinnati's Wasson Way - or as I call it, Wozzfozz Way.
That event yielded 25 photos of a Scholaring sort.
As usual, peep and ye shall weep...

Fictional scenario: a new energy drink company named BunkerBlast offers Tim $5 million for the domain name and he turns them down
I always enjoy these photo tours, thanks!
Am I the only one who thinks sine rot has accelerated in the past 10 years? In the East we've had a lot more sunny days in the past 10 years than we had previously and I don't think our sines are up to the task unlike ones out west which seem to be made differently to hold up to sun longer. This doesn't just go for road signs but all kinds of outdoor sineage. I feel like our signs are cheaper than the ones out west that are made to hold up to more sun but cost more. Sort of like the same concept as 5-year vinyl vs. 10-year vinyl.

It's gotten really bad since 2020, even though we have a lot more cloudy days here. Signs and billboards with a lot of red have faded faster. Items in my apartment that are red or yellow keep fading too. I had some of them for 40 years before they ever faded.
There is something in the air or the environment that is making things fade faster.

Sure has. I've seen old signs that were in almost pristine condition 5 years ago that are now fading fast.
There are a lot of state-installed signs in northern Kentucky that suffer from extreme cases of sine rot, especially on US 27 and the AA Highway. In Cincinnati, there used to be a number of older signs that are naturally going to decay over time.
