Page cleanup?

I'd like to gauge the interest of removing location-specific images and only have images found in the national MUTCD. The MUTCD is inherently flexible, so it's not necessary to list every example. I would not be against creating Road signs in X pages for those locations that have their own manuals. –Fredddie ™ 19:30, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the cleanup. There's a reason why there's a supplement specifically for signage. There's also a new edition expected next year. There's just going to be more examples to use. (For instance, RRFBs will definitely be added) – The Grid (talk) 02:48, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia editors at large are very good at creating exhaustive lists of instances rather than explaining why anything does anything. This article doesn't explain the importance of sign shape and color at all! I suppose I'll start a draft and see where it goes. –Fredddie ™ 03:11, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So the only removal would be location specific items? I think the MUTCD tries to state the usual items first and then unique situations are either stated afterwards or in the supplement documents. I guess I could wait until the draft is made for comments. – The Grid (talk) 14:06, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The cleanup has been done by User:Fredddie, already. No more location specific signs! 2601:C6:C580:6B20:895B:1CAF:7E5F:742 (talk) 23:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Using MUTCD language

I would like this page to be very close to the MUTCD. Does anyone agree? 50.241.14.29 (talk) 21:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
