I was skimming through the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices yesterday, and thinking, as I often do, that one of the finest things in the U.S. is our highway signage. No joke, I am really proud of our achievements here. They are a triumph of civic administration and a valuable application of our affluence for the public good.

(The manual is available online for free and will be of great delight to many varieties of nerd: https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno_11th_Edition.htm )

And then I thought it's probably only a matter of time until the current administration figures out a way to line their pockets with highway sign funds, announces that highway signs are Fake News and Woke and fucks them up somehow or eliminates them entirely.
