I love how Florida was always like “Dammit, we’re putting out state outline on the sign even though it’s the worst state for that!”

I feel like I should know where that is....
EDIT: Looks like the roads lead to Ellsworth NE. I’ve never actually been there. I guess rural NE looks the same all over the state

I’ve always liked our Sunflower motif here in Kansas.

Not that the current NM state road signs are bad, but I really dig the ones used from the 20's up to about the 60's.

Centrally located - right in the middle of nowhere.

Interesting. Never seen them all together like that.
I would guess that if they ever were to adopt a nationally standardized format, it would probably end up being some sort of black-on-white-on-black version. I like the state-shaped ones, although I suppose that wouldn’t work very well for Hawaii...

Colorado is really nice. I prefer it, but it makes the numbers smaller (less legible). From a purely functional perspective, I think I give Illinois the nod.

Didn’t that face-on-the-mountain formation fall off?

I’ve spent some time in Alliance/Scottsbluff - very pretty out there, but very empty, too--

It wouldn’t shock me if they did use it, but it looks more like an italic
font with serifs

Just checked google images for a larger image, thankfully it’s not comic sans

Haven’t been that far west since high school, so I don’t remember that much of it, but I grew up on the eastern edge of the sandhills and visit there fairly regularly.
Maybe we need to head out of the way to go to C
arhenge on our summer trip though...

Nebraska looks like Nebraska all over the state. Which is not to say that’s it’s boring, just somewhat derivative.

Have driven across KS. Can confirm.

I should point out that Puerto Rico uses a stupid mix of route marker shields with absolutely no consistency. They also use round markers, pentagonal county route markers (on state routes, mind), white-on-black shields similar to the blue one in the image, and randomly shaped
pieces of painted plywood or MDF
.

Back when road atlases literally said things like, “Turn at the white farmhouse and cross the bridge....”

Very similar to TX. Boring, but efficient.

That’s the truth.
I’ve lived here long enough to see the difference between the hills of the sandhills and the hills of the eastern half of the state.... But yeah.

I have driven across KS from south to north (spent the night in Lindeborg), as well as the eastern third to KC. The state gets a bad rap for being flat and boring, but I love the grasslands, especially in early summer.

I made it to South Dakota and Wyoming this year. Haven’t quite gotten up to Montana yet (though I’ve been on the Canadian side).

Photographing highway signs used to be a hobby of mine. Somewhere on my old hard drive I have lots of Virginia and North Carolina ones.

Carhenge and the other car art there are pretty cool. But I’m not sure that they’re w orth going all that far out of your way for. Mostly just to be able to say you’ve been there, I guess.

Well, coming from Omaha, going to the black hills, and I want to avoid interstate (I’ve done it once before, it’s a decent trip). Dodging south through Alliance only adds 15min to the total trip compared to the most direct state highway route.
It’d be a great place to stop to stretch the legs at least.

In the small form I thought the sign had a steaming pile of dung at the bottom. Couldn’t remember that they had a picture on it...

They should have just done a square sign with a tag line, “America’s Wang”.

Oh, for that short of a detour, it’s worth it. And Alliance is a big enough town to take a break in, too - not many out there.
Plus, if anyone in the family is a railfan, it’s a very busy spot on the BNSF for coal trains coming out of the Powder River Basin.

I’m sure our youngest would like to see some big trains, but we’ll see if I can talk my wife into spending more time in the car instead of taking the faster roads.

Interestingly here in NM, not all the signs have the Zia (sun) symbol on them. When you get far enough into the sticks they just use a simple white circle on a black square like Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, etc. I assume it’s just for cost reasons.
