How NYC’s Stop Signs Are Made | The Making Of

[@RebelFilmGaming]

This is really cool! As a BMW driver, I've never seen one of these "Stop" signs but they seem pretty interesting

[@june_keke]

The more I look at the word ‘STOP’ the less it looks like ‘STOP’

[@biggermanboi4205]

[@Hisako86]

I tot i was crazy good to know someone is with me not just me who sees it

[@june_keke]

[@Hazadoor]

Thought it was just me

[@exerity]

you might be dyslexic lol

[@Vedrajrm]

It’s funny how if you stare at a word long enough it just stops making sense

[@musicanoofficial7233]

I forgot how to say stop, after looking at it for so long. I read it, STOOOP at the end. Lmao

[@David-ls4qp]

Or when it starts to sound like not a word. Like: cabin

I've wondered if there's a layout of the city which indicates where all of these signs are supposed to be at in case of a natural disaster and they need to be replaced. A lot of these are in place because of accidents that have occurred at that specific location.

[@codytran1719]

Yeah

[@Nedsonland]

The DOT publishes a dataset that's available online to view. To my knowledge, it only indexes parking signs, but all of them are on there.

[@jonathantrego]

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....)

[@clotildebesson1991]

Fun fact, the city of Paris only has one single Stop sign. The rest are right priorities and red lights

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

This was fascinating!! I had no idea that NYC made their own signs and how many are made If all NYC Sign Shops are equal, that's 500,000 signs per year!!! I bet there are some sign companies that wish they made and sold that many signs!!

"Stop" no longer looks or sounds like a real word to me.

[@elonmusk6541]

Tell that to the officer next time you run a stop sign 😂

[@aylanyhernandez9531]

Omg same! I kept looking at it and thinking how wrong and weird the word looked on the sign and it even had me questioning if it was spelled wrong. By the end I just felt like the word didn’t even exist.😂

Stop signs should be updated this is 2020 for God’s sake they should glow in the dark

[@onpage69]

@AM too*

[@onpage69]

@AM people don't run stop signs because they're on their phones. and it's also not because the stop signs aren't glow in the dark. stop blaming phones on things when you can't handle change in this world. grow up, the world is changing, get used to it.

You can buy official traffic stop signs that are MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) compliant from a number of websites, including Amazon. They run around $16 plus shipping - and you can find almost any traffic sign you want. They are the exact same quality, engineer grade, that you find on any city street with the protective 3-D sheeting and inks and they are made of rust-free aluminum. The standard is 12" x 12" but you can also get them in 4 sizes up to 30" x 30" for $50.

[@petalong5264]

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.
