How much money do they spend on highway signage?

Ah, Tom Lewis, informing readers that our highway signs are green because of some tests done in Maryland. They were, amazingly, almost black, until a) drivers didn't like black, and b) the proponent of the darkness was found to colorblind.

It's this kind of minutiae that makes Divided Highways a worthwhile read.

The book has a long range, spanning the Important Parts of this nation's history since WW2, giving it somewhat of a watered-down feel. It devolves from a neat history of the politics of roadbuilding to a collection of fairly standard social commentaries once the roads actually start getting built.

Maps would've helped, as it'd be easier to understand the plight of, for example, Saratoga Springs, had I been able to visualize what the interstate had done to the once-touristy city.

Despite these knocks, thank you, Mr. Lewis, for a splendid read.

I bought this sign last year to use for my tax business maybe around late December/early January and learned you get what you pay for.  The sign is very bright and is visible from a good distance.  But within weeks many of the bulbs had given out and by the end of the season you couldn't tell what it was advertising.  Go with one of the neon tube signs, it will more but lasts long.

This product is by far the most attractive restroom sign I've seen anywhere.  And I've done a lot of looking.  At $15, it was more expensive than most of the boring plastic stuff that's available.  But I think it's well worth the cost -- particularly for our small boutique-style office, where we wanted something that looked higher end and had some style.  I haven't installed yet.  Will update if that doesn't go as expected.

This review is written from the point of view of the tourist from the US mainland that would want to rent a car in Puerto-Rico.

To the best of my knowledge there are four categories of roads in PR:
US Interstate class highways, signaled with the typical Interstate blue and red shield. Usually toll roads. Posted speed limits typically 65 mph. Best. (note: rentals usually come with a pass for the tolls for a small additional fee on top of the toll)
Other major highways, signaled with a blue-only shield (or sometimes black-only shield). Similar to a US highway. Usually free. Posted limits typically 55 mph. Better.
Major roads with a lane in each direction, signaled with a blue and yellow pentagonal sign similar to a US county road sign (new signs) or a black and white sign with the outline of PR similar to a US state road sign (old signs). Similar to a US county road. Posted speed typically varies between 35 and 50 mph. Good.
Minor roads with only 3/4 of a lane in each direction (so you have to slow down when you cross an incoming vehicle) signaled with a black and white circular sign (at least for new signs, seems old signs for minor roads are the same as old signs for major roads). No US equivalent. Don't expect averaging more than 20 mph even if no speed limit posted.

Free maps given by rental agencies are usually small and don't always clearly differentiate between major and minor roads. GPS also typically assume that you can average 50 mph on a minor road and make you take them when the proper approach is in fact to stick to major roads as much as possible, even if that increases the driving distance significantly.

So one needs a good map. And this map is the best map I found so far.

However this map is not perfect. It has some errors. For example on the south east of the island it claims that Interstate 53 (PR-53) is completed when it is clearly not the case! Between Yabucoa and Guyama one has to take PR-901 and PR-3 which are at best major roads with posted speed limits of only 25 mph! (and from having driven there recently following this map from Fajardo to Salinas I doubt that PR-53 will be completed any time soon). A less problematic example on the west is Interstate 2 (PR-2) which is more of a major highway than an Interstate between San German and Aguadilla.

In short I recommend you purchase and study this map prior to a trip to the island (and of course bringing it with you) but consider supplementing it with something else (e.g. maps from a  guide, GPS, etc).

Expensive for a poster but happy with the quality frame.

I mean, it's a pair of clear, readable, non-nonsense signs.  However, they may not be the best for exterior applications.  I installed the larger one outside my house in a location that receives about 2 hours of sunlight per day in the summer.  Even in Seattle, where it doesn't get that hot, this exposure was sufficient to buckle the plastic so the sign bulged out along its long axis, popping it loose from the surface.

The Postum was light in color and looked very old.  For the price I thought the merchandise fell short.
Can you tell me why the cost is so high?

This sign is very small, not what I expected for the money.  I could have gone to a local home improvement store and picked up larger signs for fraction of the price.

For the amount of money this vendor is asking you can get a "Real Signature", not some computer generated auto-pen that they're trying to pass off as Dale's hand.

Give the people a break and sell this item for what it really is... "Hyped Up Marketing".
Sell it for the realistic Value and mark it for the real value...
The total cost in materials is approximately $10.00.
I like the way they claim that the frame is "Museum Quality".

Ask yourself this? Are you buying a frame or are you buying Dale?

If you're buying a frame, then have at it. But if you're buying Dale, you can get these photo's of him off the internet, just copy and paste them to your computer. You don't need a computer generated signature to authenticate it for this price.

Save Your Money Folks.

I'm A Serious Earnhardt Fan and just want you do get what you deserve to get for this amount of money.

But... It's Always Your Choice and What Ever Makes You Happy At The End Of The Day - Right?

Excellent quality for the price.  Like the fact that it is not laminated.  Browsed a local consignment shop for a frame and was lucky enough to have found one for $8 so the total cost of the poster and framing was around $15.  Not going to look high end but for an informal study (and certainly for a student) an excellent map in my opinion.

* Another Thought: If You Don't Have It, Amazon Prime Is $99 A Year. You'll Get Free 2-3 Day, UPS Or Fed-Ex Shipping For All Prime Items, All Year. They Offer Up A Trial, But It Gives 5-7 Day Shipping, Blah,Too Slow. And It Isn't Fed-Ex. I Just Paid The $99 At My Checkout And Got/Get My Products In 2-3 Business Days. Often On Saturdays. It's A Solid Purchase If You Shop Amazon. Plus Amazon Video, Amazon Pantry And Amazon Music Are Included. I Love Ordering At Night And Having Something Arrive At My Front Door 2-3 Days Later By UPS/Fed-Ex. Especially During Busy Times Of The Year.
Hope This Info Helps. Thanks For Reading

I particularly like this Route 66 sign above the others because it's in color; it shows all the states on the route; it shows 2 nice hot rods; and with our flag superimposed over the outline of the United States...can it get any better than that?  Of course the fact that I lived just a couple of miles off of Route 66 near St. Louis, Missouri, and drove it all the time helps a bit too.  But it really is a great sign in it's own right.  Definitely great American history!

It's a $20 carpet.  Not extremely well padded or built, but great for high traffic areas that just need a cheap carpet to abuse.

The sign was shipped next day from time i placed order. The letters are easy to see and at night the headlights reflect nicely from down the road. Great product for the money.

I live on a dead end farm road. We used to get people pulling in not knowing it was a private drive. Not anymore since I put up the sign. It is very nice quality, the same as city street signs

I gave this a 1 star only because of how expensive this was to purchase. Good sign aside from that. It actually has the correct grammar in Spanish. Readable and visible. Other signs I searched for on Amazon are not written correctly. The size I purchased was the next size after the 12" one.  I paid $18 dollars and change for purchase and shipping. It really shouldn't be this expensive for what it is.
