road signs

[2kCivicEX]

what does the transportation dept do with all the old road signs? any one ever work for them or something. hoping to see if they would lemme take some of the old ones off their hands.....better then stealing them and risking getting into some major trouble :yes:

[pdiggitydogg]

they just throw them away in dumpsters...some at the local road commission hq, some in just random dumpsters.

Yes I am sure

Most of the road signs I see look like they are made from aluminum. If they are they probaly get recycled. Your best bet would be to call DOT, or city maintenance or county road department.

[pdiggitydogg]

most are made of plywood and aluminum or just aluminum

My brother worked at a yard for a while, he might be able to help you at.


We've been known to take my dad's truck and a ratchet set and get a few street signs.

Yep, he's right. I got a speed limit sign from a dumpster. There were a ton of others in there, but I could only carry one. It was 30 MPH. It's 80 now :) :yes:

I have a stop sign too. And a few road signs. Just local roads, nothing to funny. My roommate has a Shady Ln sign, always liked that.

Hhhhmmmm......i need to get my hands on one the HWY 69 south signs around here...:yes: ;)

[SolPol]

Yeah, there's a mile marker 69 around me somewhere that I always wanted.

[2kCivicEX]
