Houston: Color-coded interchange signs?
Q.In a letter to the editor in today's San Antonio Express-News, someone mentioned seeing "an I-10 sign painted in color to help drivers know which lane to stay in to make it through major interchanges." Is this accurate? If so, anybody got pics?
A.Looks like I'll have something to get used to the next time we're over to San Antonio...last time I was there in April, no such signs were in sight (but then, we only took 10 as far as the Houston exit, to get to AT&T Center). TX DOT is not changing the color of interstate highway shields. The only seemingly odd thing Texas often does with interstate shields is using wider 3di shields for 2di route markers on overhead signs to allow larger numerals to be used. My hunch is the letter writer may be referring to the new practice of painting very elongated interstate shield markers and arrows directly on the roadway pavement. ...which has had mixed results in this area: the completed rehab of the West Loop (I-610) between US 59 and US 290 has the pavement signs in the lanes, but some of them have already cracked and peeled away. The ones on northbound 610 approaching 59 were missing about half of the original signage when I last went through there a couple of weeks ago. (It could get interesting in the next day or two, with a brand-new tropical depression in the Gulf that's likely to be christened as Erin later today (as it's past midnight CDT) and will probably be coming ashore in either south Texas or northern Tamaulipas early Thursday.)
