WHO: The Federal Highway Administration WHAT: The FHA is ordering all local governments to replace street signs with ones that are easier to read. The stipulations require an increase in letter size and more reflective lettering. Also, the new signs cannot use all capital letters.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The changes will cost millions of dollars. For example, Milwaukee expects to spend about $2 million on new signs at a cost of about $10 per person, though residents see no problem with the current street signs.
WHERE TO VENT: Call the U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general at 800-424-9071.
