I found this damage interesting because

  1. There are high winds here (coastal area) but the frontal area of a sign seems pretty small
  2. I thought they would make signs out of more corrosion resistant materials

These are only a few of tens if not hundreds of downed signs in the area

I would imagine that at some point we went from highways agency signage that was made to a standard to outsourcing to the cheapest bidder. There is also a possibility that signs can’t be too rigid so they don’t cut vehicles in half?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
