Whats with the new fluorescent color for signs?
The FHWA has approved fluorescent yellow-green for pedestrian, school, and bike warning signs. They have more visibility, especially at night. Some towns, such as Peabody MA, use them for much more than just pedestrian, school, and bike warning signs; this overuse may lead to people getting used to them. See also the MUTCD at http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003r1/part1/part1a.htm#section1A12 , and http://www.trafficsign.us/signcolor.html . Flourescent sheeting for regular yellow and orange signs has also been approved. Apr 30, 2005 10.
