Department experiments with new directional road signs
The department develops signs showing place names and mileage on highways. Smaller signs will fit urban areas and beautification, eliminating extra route direction indicators. A new embossed arrow under route numbers marks direction changes, replacing old R or L markers.
Symbol signs to inform public of new junction marking
Secretary Lanta outlines an educational program to explain the new symbol signs, noting their simplicity. The signs will be shown to schoolchildren and printed on the reverse side of the annual sportstrap issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways.
