Ok i lived in Phoenix and well that city is not any thing to write home about but they are one up on us with there street signs. Not so much Phoenix but in its suburb like Mesa, Tempe, and Gilbert. Like this one.

During the day they are very visible but at night is the main issue. You can actually see what road you are approaching at night because they are lighted from within the sign just like a McDonalds sign.

Does anyone know why we can't have something like this? I know in downtown they are installing some but need the all over the city. Not to mention they look nice.

I think they have those in Stone Oak and the Medical Center. I wish they had them everywhere, too. It seems like they would help everybody. It's more than likely a cost thing. They are probably pretty expensive.

I'm just happy to have any signage, period. With all the construction going on, especially around the airport, they have done a terrible job of posting street signs. There are just too many examples to cite.

The best place I've driven so far is Tampa. All the signs are of the type mentioned previously, very easy to see.
