Look at the areas where you have the highest population of liberals. You also have the highest number of laws and regulations, highest tax rates, highest costs, highest debt, and highest crime rates. This is the result of a Liberal utopian society.

I am just surprised they didn't require them to be done in braille also and placed lower so that blind people could reach them!

*shakes head*

Maybe a little bit of a delusional theory.

Maybe a republican mole in the DOT trying to get everyone mad at the democratic fools in charge.

The $27 million figure is BS.

Being familiar with construction, I know if will cost far more than $110 per sign. It would require several men to travel, set up ladders/platforms at thousands of locations and work at heights. The signs would also have to be placed at the proper locations and orientations.

When all the mistakes, accidents, union fighting and regulations are done with, I’d be surprised if it only costs $100 million. Then add a few giant city lawsuits from people or ambulances getting lost due to sign mistakes.

Every day, I feel more like I shouldn’t have left the USSR. Rather depressing…

This is the fed’s business why? Are these federal highways?

If they really wanted to improve readability, they’d order a dark font on a light background. Any vision expert will tell you that.

Maybe the city didn’t like all those signs yelling on the streetcorners.

And since when does the Fed have the authority to tell a city or state how to manage it’s internal roadways?

Oh, nevermind. I must be thinking of some other country ...

The signs have to be changed per "FEDERAL LAW"....so this is nationwide. Congress is nuts!!!!

And you folks who make less than $250,000 don't think you're paying for this?

"They might as well just burn the damn money."

Definitely the money quote.

The don’t care about nighttime drivers. If they did then they would outlaw all the new headlights which completely blind all the other drivers.

How does “federal” highway administration rules become legal mandates on purely LOCAL roads????

And who PROVES, BEYOND ALL DOUBT, that ONE FONT is better than anything else.

Utopian rules - one gang knows EVERYTHING better than everyone else - are part of the path to tyranny and away from Liberty.

New Yorkers outraged as bureaucrats order city to change lettering
on every single street sign

I am sick and tired that the current regime(s) are headed in a direction
180 degrees from what Reagan did when he put the country on the right path.

This is just a case of what Reagan said:
“The job of the beauracracy is...
TO GROW THE BEAURACRACY!!!”
