Signs specific to a state

[ElishaGOtis]

Are there states other than Texas that post big WHITE signs?

Examples:

This is kinda close

Columbus, OH has / had a couple around the Innerbelt. One on I-70/71 for Fourth St (US 23) is gone due to the construction there.

I've always wondered why this NC86 state highway truck route has special background that's carried through on all signs in Efland, NC right at the I-40/I-85 split.

The original signage posted TRUCK NC-86 as normal lettering with diamond cutout on the BGS background, but it was ineffective in getting trucks to use CONN US-70 (formerly US-70X) as a truck route.  NC-86 is Churton Street in the historic downtown section of Hillsborough, which is closed to truck traffic.  Good thing, since northbound trucks (legal ones making local deliveries) trying to head uphill through downtown causes stop-and-go traffic all day long.

Not sure why NCDOT chose the white background, but it seems to have been effective for the most part.  Today, we see 2 or 3 through trucks daily heading northbound through downtown, whereas it was 20 or more through trucks some 20 years ago. 

There is a weigh station for trucks nearby if that's related to the white background.

There is a connection to weigh station, but not the one on I-85/I-40 west of here.  Rather, there is the old weigh station on US-70 between the Eno River and Hillsborough that serves as headquarters for the weigh station operations on the Interstate, as well as the local DMV License Plate agency (State Troopers assigned to weigh station operations serve double-duty here by also administering Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL) testing (perhaps the only such location in the state).

Anywhoosit, back 25 years ago the DMV regularly used the old eastbound scale location as a location with a temporary scale (gotcha!) to catch truckers that used US-70 to bypass the scales on the Interstate.  While this served the intended effect, it also had the unintentional effect of drawing truckers away from using TRUCK NC-86 and rather trying to sneak through downtown Hillsborough (as if anybody could sneak through there).

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.

Kentucky uses those as well.

Is Kentucky's exactly like this one because I think it looks homemade on many levels, especially the symbols for the car and truck.

Best I can remember, although I'm not sure if the arrow and "OK" was in green or black text.

The one I saw most often, on I-75/I-64 northbound/eastbound prior to the US 27/68 exit, doesn't show up on the most recent KYTC photolog images prior to the construction that's underway there now.

That sign makes it look like it's OK to just perpendicular-park right in front of the truck.

Found an image from 2009. It's not exactly the same, but the message is the same.
