Signs specific to a state

[Bruce]

Don't think that many other states have enough ferry routes to justify a standardized "no line cutting" sign:

Oklahoma: "Do not impede left lane" (being phased out)

Why are they being phased out, did the law change or something? The signs are all fairly new (I think they were all installed not that much more than 5 years ago).

Maryland has its "Lane Ends" warning sign with the downward diagonal arrows.

Delaware now has them here and there.

I've seen a few in Virginia as well.  There used to be a couple on VA 28 near Dulles.

Two from Vermont that I have yet to see elsewhere:

- "Scarified Pavement"
- Their unique way of signing town and county lines, with the signs themselves being parallel to the road.  An example.

That prompts me to think of one of my favorite signs. It's on southbound Bonaventure Boulevard in Weston, Florida. But I doubt it's a "state-specific sign" as envisioned by this thread; I assume the local municipality posted it, especially in view of the use of the word "queue." I wonder how many people are confounded by that word, given that I've seen it spelled in such ways as "cue" and "que." The sign you posted makes me think "Line-Cutting Prohibited" would be more to-the-point. But I still like this sign.

Pennsylvania has the color coded detour signs for freeways, such as "blue detour" or "red detour".

And Delaware has copied them too, though in only one instance I'm aware of.

Back in the 70's, at least, Michigan used to have a sign for their surface streets when a lane would end:

 FORM
<- 2 --
 LANES

Nevada has a whole host of animal-silhouette warning signs that don't appear in the federal manual. Notable ones are the burro warning sign (what other state needs that?) and the cattle warning sign (normally paired with an "Open Range" plaque).

Are they a different shape than the ones in the MUTCD?

MUTCD W11-19


MUTCD W11-4

Maryland has this alternate merge diagrammatic sign with text explanation in various places. I've never seen that particular design in use anywhere else (I have not looked at the MUTCD to see whether it's in there, though someone else will surely know).

[RobbieL2415]

CTs unique "Construction Ahead" sign.

[hbelkins]

Virginia: unmarked pavement ahead (in construction zones)

Kentucky uses these as well, but on temporary mounts and with an orange background.

Also:

North Carolina: Motorcycles Burn Headlights, Riders Wear Helmets
North Carolina: Begin XX 1000 Ft Ahead (where the XX represents a lowered speed limit)
Kentucky: Trucks Use Right 2 Lanes (as opposed to West Virginia's "No Trucks Left Lane")
Tennessee: Hill Obstructs View

Florida sometimes (by no means always) posts yellow warning signs saying "Church." I've never seen that in any other state. I think they came up in a thread on this forum once, though I have no idea who raised it and my instincts tell me that searching for "Church" is not going to be effective.

Edited to add: Famous last words. Here's the thread. And it confirms these signs are used in other states, so my comment about never having seen them in other states, while an accurate comment, winds up being inaccurate for purposes of state-specific signs.

Going out of the country, more specifically in Canada (Ontario), railroad crossbucks used to say RAILWAY CROSSING.

[Big John]

County highway signs in Wisconsin.

In the 11th edition, a new series of signs was added that incorporated the alternate / 2-sided merge. These were not present in previous editions.

W4-8 Symbolic (required)


W9-4 Word Message (optional, and if used, it's supposed to be placed before W4-8)


The new double roundabout interchange on I-95 at GA-99 at the Buc-ee's uses this sequence on the roads leading away from the roundabouts.

Oklahoma: "Do not impede left lane" (being phased out)

Why are they being phased out, did the law change or something? The signs are all fairly new (I think they were all installed not that much more than 5 years ago).

Not entirely sure. I saw many replaced with standard "Keep Right Except to Pass" signs on the left shoulder of I-40, all of which were indicated with "Slower Traffic Keep Right" on the right shoulder.

I always thought "Slower Traffic Keep Right" was the worst way to put it. Nobody, at least no normal male, wants to admit to being "slower traffic".

Ah got it. I'm not normal so I'm allowed to admit to being "slower traffic"       jk lol

There's a "Trucks Use 2 Right Lanes" on the Illinois Tollway.

Saw a bunch of these on I-24 in Murfreesboro / Nashville, TN.

I think I've seen them on I-65 in the Nashville area as well.

[Flint1979]

Michigan uses, "trucks use right 2 lanes" too.
