Electronic Signs

Some guy in Ferndale wrote a letter to the editor of the Times- Standard about electronic signs. He's not happy with them. I like them, at least the ones I've seen. They're actually an improvement over the old style signs, but maybe that's just because of the bright colors?

Seems to me the only signs on roads should be road signs. Everything else is a safety distraction. Our main goal should be safe, drivable roads.

The worst signs in my opinion are the ones that are completely useless. Like, "Freeway Dedicated to so and so officer who died in duty" Those signs have no value to society whatsoever. In fact, they may endanger drivers who get distracted by the useless signs.

Just my rant, mainly based on a year working with caltrans. My boss explained to me his opinions on signs and it still makes sense to me.
