Things never said by roadgeeks

I like boring, square, route markers

"Meh. Highway Gothic is an ugly typeface. Clearview is a bit better but still not awesome." (said by a friend)

"Road trip? Why don't we just fly?"

I would say this. Not necessarily that the FHWA Series fonts are ugly, but I do think Clearview is better.

[Michael]

but I do think Clearview better.

1) Good, those signs they are replacing were old and weathered.  Hope they melt them metal signs and turn them into ashtrays.

2) The great route-number swap of Toledo in 1986 was sorely needed.

3) I'm glad that all the Toll Roads finally had to abide by the same freeway sign standards as the regular interstates.  Those green Speed Limit signs were ugly.

4) Those newer "plastic" traffic lights with the plastic lenses are so much more beautiful and safer than those clunky old metal ones with glass lenses.

"Dude, I don't know how you know where your going.  I would already be lost."

Actually, I would say/ have said all these things and agree with them! Although, I really like almost all modern (90's -now) road features better then old (before 1990ish) devices/ signs. (sorry Jake)

I don't care which way we go, let's just get there.

[ctsignguy]

I don't care which way we go, let's just get there.

Actually, a roadgeek WOULD say that! And use that as a fine excuse to take a different road or path less beaten to try to seek out old signs and other cool sights!

A good point - let's change it to "I don't care which way we go, as long as we get there as quickly as possible."

[njroadhorse]

How do you know where you're going? You've never been here before!

[Henry]

From someone who's lived at both ends of the Mother Road:

"Hey, this new Interstate is way, way better than Route 66!"

[The Premier]

I like those circle route signs.

[CL]

I'd rather fly there than drive.

P.S. Someone's probably already said this now that I think about it, so here's a localized version of something never said by roadgeeks - "I'm glad they built the freeway with two lanes in each direction to protect the bird refuge" (aka Legacy Parkway).

[NE2]

I'd probably say something like that.

[berberry]

"Are we there yet?"

[agentsteel53]

I'd probably say something like that.

so would I.  I've driven I-5 and US-99 so many times between San Diego and Sacramento that next time I am seriously considering flying.

« What is an old bridge? »

[NE2]

It's a bridge that's older than... that was built before... oh hell, what is an old bridge?

[Roadsign199qc]

(laughs)

EDIT: I have a better idea: What's an highway?!

[SSOWorld]

"What is a byway?"

[ctsignguy]

"What is a parkway?"

[njroadhorse]

What in the hell is a trafficway?
