State Highway Signs


While driving down to Baltimore for a bachelor party over the weekend, it occurred to me for the first time ever that each state has its own unique design for their state highway designs. Here's a website that proves it.

It's a little disappointing to see both of Pennsylvania's neighbor states New Jersey and Delaware among the 5 states also including Iowa, Kentucky, and Mississippi that all apparently totally lack any type of individuality when it came to making these signs. They each use the same bland white circle inside a black square.

I personally like any of the states that chose to incorporate color into their sign, and of the black and white models I'd have to give creativity points to Washington. Simple, yet so cool.
