what is our society coming to when Fluorescent Yellow Green is considered "old"?
find me a BC example that is blue with white legend!
Or an Ontario one.
I've lived in BC off and on, and have never seen one, so good luck. I'm looking around GMSV right now, quite furiously, and have not been able to find anything. The BC MOT and local jurisdictions have recently put lots of money into roads and many older signs have been replaced (if you like Clearview on stop signs, come to BC...they're everywhere). As far as I know, the white-on-blue school zone/crossing signs are an old standard. While still legal, they have been mostly phased out in favour of fluorescent-green pentagonal signs.
What I have learned is that most school crossings are just normal crosswalks that happen to lie within school zones. That is to say, the crosswalks are marked with the standard white crosswalk sign. School zones are (almost) always marked with a fluorescent-green pentagonal school sign with a 30 km/h sign posted below. There are also playground zones, which are diamond-yellow warning signs with a child chasing a ball. These playground zones are not always posted with a speed limit change, but sometimes have a 30 km/h posted below if such a speed is recommended.
Also, AgentSteel, why do you never capitalize your sentences?
