Title: Highway Signs on Cimarron Turnpike Post by: BierGarten on February 25, 2009, 02:10:26 pm Has any driven this stretch from Tulsa to Stillwater lately and noticed the duplicative signs that have been erected? By duplicative I mean ten feet from one another stand the exact same sign (exit signs, mile markers, pay toll, etc...). No one sign next the other looks old or looks like it needs to be replaced. I REALLY hope there is a rational explanation for this. Please inform me if you have it.

Actually, I noticed it too. I guess the old ones had lost that "new sign smell."

Title: Highway Signs on Cimarron Turnpike Post by: sauerkraut on February 27, 2009, 12:11:52 pm They are doing a sign update. They put up the new signs and at a latter date they will remove the old ones.
Title: Highway Signs on Cimarron Turnpike Post by: bugo on February 27, 2009, 08:26:07 pm Yep, it's the Clearview signage update. Now the signs on the Cimmaron will be just as hard to read as the signs on the Muskogee.

Maybe no easier in broad daylight, but when the signs are obscured due to rain or other inclement weather, Clearview is significantly better. Which is sad, because I much prefer the aesthetic of Highway Gothic.

Title: Highway Signs on Cimarron Turnpike Post by: bugo on February 28, 2009, 04:35:07 pm quote: I strongly disagree. To read the signs on the Muskogee at night, you have to squint your eyes a little bit. I've never had that problem with the Highway Gothic fonts, especially the "C" and "D" versions of the font. I do agree that the old font is far more aesthetically pleasing. |
