$347 to make 28 signs, each 24x30 inches?  damn, who are they using as their contractor?  that's about 12 bucks a sign.  For me it would cost at least four times that - more if I wanted a smaller quantity!

They are not very thick. I'm wondering what they will look like after the first hailstorm.

When you come to a fork in the road... TAKE IT.

Are they metal or plastic?

If they are cardboard, they are probably corrugated plastic cardboard. But surely we have a reporter in the field who can verify this? :hmmm:

Got  some pics of one of the signs on Lincoln Blvd northbound just before I44.  I don't know how to embed them in the message, so I posted them at:

I love this... but yet, looking at Oklahoma signage, I have serious doubts.

Good pics. Looks like standard signage, not the el cheapo/inferior stuff we were worried about.  :clap:
