So many faded, peeling & ugly street signs.
So what's up with that?
It has become very obvious, that an awful lot of street signs will/should be replaced soon.
Given that many of these aren't that old, I'm curious as to the story behind it.
I don't know if the developer was responsible for sourcing these signs, or since they are actually public roads the county did them, they are certainly failing pretty miserably.
The peeling and fading of the letters and numbers, with a lot of them falling off or hanging, has become quite embarrassing in my mind.
For the last couple of years I've seen them deteriorate at an accelerated rate and while every so often I might see similar problems in other parts of the state, nothing on this scale has ever caught my eye.
In other words, the excuse of "we live in Florida and the sun shortens their lives" doesn't really explain it.
My guess is that whomever was responsible for them, simply went after the cheapest price and we are now seeing the result of that decision.
The old "you usually get what you pay for" is what runs through my mind.
The next time you're driving around, start noticing how many of them that are a lot less than 10 years old are really in poor shape.
