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.

If you close one eye, one of the signs goes away... [  ] Actually, I noticed it too. I guess the old ones had lost that "new sign smell." |

They're probably updating the signs to use Clearview rather than Highway Gothic, like they've done for most of the signs on the Muskogee Turnpike.

They are doing a sign update. They put up the new signs and at a latter date they will remove the old ones.

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.

I can't say they're harder to read. 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. |

Hopefully it works out that way. |

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. |
