Things that DOT's do that you appreciate.

CalTRANS was extremely quick

This may be the first time this phrase has ever been used

They responded quickly after the '94 EQ, as well.

ALDOT does a decent enough job at keeping roads in good shape.*

I think that's about the only thing they do good.

I like NHDOT and TDOT for their refusal to adopt Clearview.

* - except in corruption-riddled, broke-ass Jefferson County

I think Florida keeps up with road maintainence and signing because of the huge amount of money that comes from tourism.  People want to get to their destination with as little confusion as possible, so its good for the state's tax revenues

Absolutely true.  Over 80 million people visit Florida each year on top of our 19 million residents.  Highway infrastructure overall does get a great deal of priority.  Its expansion and maintenance is truly astonishing.

Same goes for Massachusetts and Maine. Yay!

Well, I can say that a few things that I like about the Utah DOT:

--Mileposts begin at 0 at a route's Southern or Western end, and continue to it Northern and Eastern end, regardless of the number of counties traversed.

--Route clustering.  Having UT-20 near UT-21, for example, helps to have a sense of consistency in a given portion of the state.

There are also many things our DOT does that frustrate me perpetually. Since this is a thread of good things, I'll just list my number one pet peeve with them: their lack of hesitancy in replacing old signs.

Exit numbers on non-Interstate freeways.

Definitely a major positive when I see it. I like the exits to be numbered even on expressways that happen to have interchanges. Hell, US24 in the middle of Kansas on a 2-lane stretch has an interchange. I'd like mileposts and exit numbers to correspond to those posts on every road. That would be perfect.

None of this "Exit A & B" in Roswell or Exit E and W on I-376 (nee Old PA 60)
