The New York City Department of Transportation’s in-house sign shop manufactures more than 100,000 signs a year. We visited the shop in Queens to see how the most vandalized sign - the stop sign - is made.

Most cities/counties have a GIS software (some are available to the public) which has all kinds of information including this. Google your local County GIS, you may be able to see for yourself.... You would be suprised of what is tracked, some even have all public trees and the dates they were planted..... (The City/County usually has an internal version which is updated more regularly and contains more sensitive information such as where water lines are, etc.... which the public cannot accsess, you may or may not be able to see signs on your public one depending on County....)

Insider forgot to ask some fundamental questions? If NYC has its own sign shop, why are they so bad? I mean getting off the Lincoln or the GW signs are terrible. And why are the designs so bad? I figure the shop doesn’t design them, but who does? Need more research because this has real implications. Missed exits for one.
