Exploring 70 Years of One Way & Do Not Enter Traffic Signs | My Vintage Street Sign Collection
In this video, I’m diving into my vintage street sign collection, with a special focus on One Way and Do Not Enter signs! These traffic control classics have been around for decades, and I’m showcasing their evolution over the last 70 years - from vintage, stamped steel designs to modern styles. You’ll see signs of all shapes, sizes, and materials, each with its own unique story.
Stick around until the end, where I take on the challenge of adding as many of these signs as possible to my sign wall - it’s the ultimate display of traffic history!
If you're a fan of retro collectibles, traffic history, or just cool wall decor, this is a must-watch. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe f...

    Hot take before watching this video: People don't zipper merge because they see the signs and arrows five or ten blocks' distance ahead. Some advance notice is necessary, but everybody sees the blockade too far in advance, especially on lower speed city streets. EDIT now that I watched: Yep. And then everybody who is now stuck in traffic is mad because other people flew by. And when the clog gets several blocks down, everybody is upset because nobody can get through, AKA a traffic jam. At least in the cities (off highways), it almost would be better to give a very last minute notice with none of those huge yellow light arrow signs.

    0:17 I could be completely wrong about this, but in the area I’m from, (PA) there isn’t a difference. In fact, I frequently drive by a road, with a no outlet and dead end sign on THE SAME POLE! It’s insane to me that the municipality messed that up! Other than a couple odd streets out, every “road leading directly to… nothing…” in my area is a no outlet. Of course other township towards the south and/or west of the US know traffic law’s better, apparently. I was so excited to see you make a video on this, because no outlet streets, are the reason I got into signs! Why do I like going down no outlet streets? Not that you asked, but I have no clue. Today, my no outlet sign collection turned into an EVERY street sign collection! Now I have 7 no outlet signs, 1 dead end sign (because they aren’t common in the area) and a grand total collection of about 65 signs!

    • @SignPicker
      @SignPicker Месяц назад

      The MUTCD defines each in separate terms, and they don’t sound interchangeable, although some municipalities treat them as interchangeable. Glad that you liked the video!! I like going down any road that I’ve not been down before.

    There's a bunch of oddball signs near me. Examples include: An advisory speed sign with the colors of a speed limit sign A Right Lane Ends(symbolic) sign in a white square with a black border And a Right Lane Must Turn Right sign in a yellow diamond with a black border. The locations respectively are: Dollar General on Old US 35 in Jamestown Centre Drive in Beavercreek OH 4/235 Southbound approaching New Carlisle and Upper Valley Pike in Huber Heights Yes these are in Ohio, near Dayton, but I assure you they'd look best in a sign collection.
