Signs specific to a state

Colorado also has these:

There's more than one of them?  I didn't remember that.

Apparently, though, this is the big enchilada as far as unconventional language goes.

There was another one at one time that started "TRUCKERS DON'T BE FOOLED..." before the description of the grade. I know it existed because I redrew it off a photo, but it has apparently been removed or revised to more conventional language.

There are a couple of variations on this sign roughly along I-70 between C-470 and Vail.  I travel the corridor frequently in a SUV, so they don't grab my attention as they first did.

Georgia also has its own homemade looking sign reminding drivers to leave space around big trucks so they'll be seen as well as a fully loaded truck cannot stop as quickly as a passenger car.

I definitely recall seeing this exact sign in several locations in Oregon a few years back and I think I have seen it in Washington as well but I do not recall seeing it recently.

Looks like this particular one was taken down sometime between November 2023 and August 2024.

Looks to me like it's still there, in the latest 9/24 imagery.

Good to know GSV hadn't changed in the intervening six hours.

It doesn't count if there's no picture.
