Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez said: ‘If you can't read it, you can't see it or you can't comprehend it, it could be a distraction to you. You could be in an accident, negative consequences could occur.’

If you can't read it, you can't see it or you can't comprehend it, you shouldn't be driving!

A lot of times I cannot see a sign because it is drowned out by other stuff like flower pots hanging from a street lamps. Some towns place them too low. This is my problem and I deal with it by making sure I know where I'm driving.

On that note, why do the signs need to be changed? are people really paying attention to them? I thought all had their eyes on their GPS.

I think they should forget about making new signs with lower case lettering. Every street sign should be in neon lights.

Indeed. This also reminds me of the numerous languages voting ballots (for example) are printed in so that immigrants (no doubt includes illegal) who don't want to assimilate to their new country...can vote in their "native" language. Do those people drive? If so, can they read the highway signs...but not the ballots (or other gov't "services" documents)?
