New big blue signs in SoWal

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities [title changed]

I use those blue bags. ;-) You are right though, they do match the blue on the signs. I agree with a post which mysteriously disappeared. I don't think the signs would stand out as much if they had something like large Palmettos planted at the base. Back to the color, as many mentioned, I agree that the signs would blend in more if they were painted a natural light green green color, even if it was just the back of the signs and the posts.

They are still installing them so landscaping may be on the way. However they just started installing the "directional" signs and OMFG they are hideous! They must be 20 feet tall. Maybe they are also to designate the building height max in South Walton? Take the signs that JohnR took pics of and put the another 8 feet up.

Inspiration for the new "Big Blues"?

Something tells me that vacationers won't be scrambling to be photographed next to these signs.

Someone pass me a pencil so I can jab my eyeballs out!

Like so:

HOW did something like this get passed?? Were the commissioners asleep when this abomination was approved? WHAT...THE...HECK?

They almost hide the power lines, at least. And if I were driving on that road, I sure wouldn't notice that pesky little "stop ahead" sign while I was reading that big ol' beauty!

Good news is that with that kind of height and area, they'll blow right over during the next tropical-type weather.

They?re not great, but I don?t find the signs as offensive as most people. What I don?t like are the crooked telephone poles and the web of electrical wires crossing 30-A. How can a road be designated a scenic highway when all you see for miles are weathered poles, wires and well used garbage can enclosures?

like Kudzu.

If you think the signs are bad throw some Kudzo out there, that stuff is a menace much worse than these signs.

I think Kudzu is a wonderful choice! I'll volunteer to help plant it.

See above.

Saw them for the first time today--

Nothing a beater truck and some well-placed swerving wouldn't take care of...

Make sure you have an airbag, I'm sure those have been designed to take a pretty good ramming from a car.

No, I think they are designed like all the new condos in PCB and Destin. That is when a hurricane comes along the center(s) blow out leaving the larger surrounding structure in place. :funn:

Wishful thinking on my part, then...

How long before the first SoWal sticker goes on one?

Is this a request?

Does anyone else find this sign confusing? How is it that Seagrove is straight ahead?
