24" x 8", D3-1

From Batavia, Ohio (on Spring St)

Likely a Kleem product, though my evidence for that is not admissible in a court of law

My first (and currently only) mixed case sign

12" x 18", custom sinful design that should be an R7 or R8 series sign

Despite much searching, I do not know where it is from

Not MUTCD compliant in pretty much any way at all

• Bad

• Not good

• aaaAAAAAAA

  • Who the hell is Saint Maint?

    • Yes I know it means "Street Maintenance" but like you aren't supposed to put nonstandard abbreviations on signs and also what does that mean? Like are they doing construction on the street every day? Or do they mean like street sweeping? Every day?

  • WHY IS THE R SMALLER

  • WHAT DO YOU MEAN "AFTER ¯/AM"? IT'S ALWAYS AFTER 7 AM?

    • JUST SAY "NO PARKING" AT THIS POINT

  • Why is the 7 made of loose strips of reflectivity (¯/)?

    • Also the periods, which should also be round in Highway Gothic

  • WHY IS IT GREEN

    • NO PARKING SIGNS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RED LEGEND ON WHITE BACKGROUND

  • Why would you spend an hour to make this abomination versus heading over to Signs Georg to buy a regular NO PARKING sign?

  • Also there's more space between the first and second lines than between the second and third lines

  • Why is every line spaced differently? The first two are off center towards the left but are mostly center aligned, then the last one is right aligned

This sign that was in Mack, Ohio

Close enough to MUTCD compliant I guess

• Installed between November 2008 and July 2011

• This design was fine in the 2003 MUTCD but was changed in the 2009 MUTCD

• So when this was installed, it was either still compliant or recently uncompliant, and potentially still compliant regardless due to state MUTCD adoption dates

The screw holes are slightly off center on this sign for whatever reason (despite the counterpart sign on the other side of the intersection not having this issue)

I think it uses fluorescent yellow (compared to normal yellow), since it and the 25 M.P.H. sign (see below) are noticeably different shades of yellow and this sign is brighter

24" x 18", R3-17

I dunno where from (Ohio)

It's MUTCD compliant

• The weird thing is that this version of the design with the sharp top corners on the "BIKE LANE" part only started with the MUTCD 11th Edition which wasn't a thing when the sign was made

• On older versions of this sign, the top corners of the "BIKE LANE" part are also rounded like the bottom corners

• Though also I don't see anything that says you need the roundness on the top corners so like idk man

I understandn't the sticker on the back

• I don't know what the "X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7                     X 19 20 21 22" means at all

• I think the second line is month and the third is year

  • But none of it is punched out or circled or anything

  • So all I know is that it was installed at some point between Jan 1 2010 and Dec 31 2017, probably

18" x 18", W13-1P

I dunno where from (Ohio)

According to the sticker on the back of the sign, was installed in September 2009 I think

• Speaking of the sticker, I have no clue what month 0 would mean

Not exactly MUTCD compliant

• Uses the design from the 2000 MUTCD

  • The 2003 MUTCD changed "M. P. H." to "M P H"

  • The design they used would thus have been 6 years out of date when installed

Has bullet hole in it because 'Murica

12" x 18", R7-107 derivative

From the City of Cincinnati

• Most likely also made by them in their sign shop

Not exactly MUTCD compliant

• Just an arrowhead instead of a full arrow

• "TOW ZONE" instead of "TOW-AWAY ZONE"

• "STOPPING PARKING" instead of just "PARKING" or just "STOPPING"

• The dimensions are slightly strange (but I can't remember and can't be bothered to check if the dimensions were compliant at some point

I made a digital version of it (second image)

• Almost entirely accurate to the real one

• Link to .PDN (Paint.NET file) (includes variations of this sign used by Cincinnati)
