Routes / Signing the Routes

« on: December 31, 2006, 05:42:04 pm »

I'm wondering if anyone at ACA has considered the feasability of establishing signage standards for the bike routes.  I live very close to the Southern Tier and see riders on it frequently in the spring and fall, and occasionally during the summer and winter.  

I know that it would cost a bundle for ACA to sign the routes, but if a graphics standard were established, bike clubs and governments along the routes might be willing to participate in the signage.  

I realize that routes change and that signs have a potential downside, but I'm a lot more interested in their use as advertising for cycle tourism then as actual direction signs.  

What do you think?
