From the Louisiana line to west of Longview, all the FM junctions are signed as such now. Is this a rogue district or a new shield spec?

New standard since 2008.

Interesting- in three cross Texas drives since 2010 this is the first time I've seen them anywhere!
I found this in 2007 along US 259:

And another at Waskom back in May

Only place I've seen those signs are in East Texas.

For now, they appear to only be on non-Interstate routes.
They're just in East Texas. I found some on US 271 that don't even bother with the "Farm Road" text.

These signs aren't a new standard. They were installed in just one large signing contract and have not appeared in any others before or since. I think they were probably meant as an experiment.

I like them better than the rectangles, myself. I wonder if they'd use brown for Recreational Roads?
