Actually, I think he only said the whole city should be condemned.  I must assume it can remain as a control city.

Well, too damn bad. People have reasons to go to Pittsburgh, so the signs are going to say Pittsburgh. Get over it.

Quote from: MUTCD
The development of a signing system for freeways and expressways is approached on the premise that the signing is primarily for the benefit and direction of road users who are not familiar with the route or area. The signing furnishes road users with clear instructions for orderly progress to their destinations.

If your proposed change to control cities isn't "primarily for the benefit and direction of road users" and your motivation isn't to "furnish road users with clear instructions for orderly progress to their destinations", then your proposal is a bad idea. End of story.

i refuse, pittsburgh is disgusting and should not be on a sign, it should not be in a book, it should not be on the internet it should have never existed. it should have been another redneck river town like most of pa besides northwest pa

I find Pittsburgh fascinating, it's actually very near the top of the list of cities I want to visit someday. I'm not even kidding. :popcorn:

Personally, I'm never going to be able to look at control cities the same after this thread :-D

(Case in point: on Monday I was heading east on I-70 towards I-695, and upon passing this sign, without missing a beat I subconsciously thought to myself "wait a minute! US 40 goes into Downtown Baltimore, not I-70!!" :spin:
"Now, what if da Bearss were to enter the Indianapolis 5-hunnert?"
"How would they compete?"
"Let's say they rode together in a big buss."
"Is Ditka driving?"
"Of course!"
"Then I like da Bear buss."
"DA BEARSSS BUSSSS"

I thought the Carnegie Science Center was pretty incredible last time I was there, and the fact that the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium are combined is pretty unique as well!

(Also, kernals12 will love this: you can legally ride the light rail for free in the immediate downtown/north shore areas!  Made me feel like I was getting a little more bang out of the PATP tolls I paid on the way to Pittsburgh :-D)

I wonder why the color of the van matters. Or maybe he's concerned that people are going to get their light-colored shoes ruined by how gross it is.
