Stupid Signs?

[adamsredlines]

Ever been to Minneapolis area? We went up there and I swear I've never seen so many signs on the side of the road. I swear it was like every 10ft a sign...driving around all I could think about was that ELO song above.

And as said above, so many signs, you end up just ignoring their message as there's so many it would impossible to keep up...almost a driving hazard in and of itself trying to read everything off the side of the road.

Are we, as drivers, really so stupid that we need to know when NOT to watch for ice on bridge?

You’re in the Tulsa area and asking that question?

This is the one that had me shaking my head after first moving to Oklahoma. Been to several states and I’ve only seen it here. If I’m reading this correctly the cost for an ODOT worker tag is $10K.

Apparently, some are.

Clay??

The trick is to find one actually WORKING, not just shovel leaning.

And the signs say "Exit 1/5 mile ahead." Minnesota is the only place I've ever driven that puts up 1/5 mile signs.

They used to have “do not drive into smoke” signs on 44 heading to Missouri. That is the only place where I have seen them and not sure if they are still there.

There's some on 69/75 between McAlester and Durant.
