As if National wasn't confusing enough, as mentioned at the very end of this article, there is a rogue street sign (pictured above; click it to really see the sign in question) that is not the LA City standard. It's white with black letters and is the only sign in LA City I've ever seen as such. True, Glendale has this black & white signage; but the closest city to this Palm's intersection is Culver City, and it's nowhere near the eastbound 10 National exit where this sign is placed.Yes, signs are changing in LA, but this has been there for years, and the change is not to this style.
I could be way off base but I'm thinking it might be located on some of the railroad property/right-of-way that goes through that area. So it may be that, back in the way, the railroad put the sign up and not the city and since it's not on city property the city never fixed it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen other black & white signs in LA. In fact, until a few months ago there was a sign on the northbund Santa Monica Bl. exit off the 405 that listed distances to Century City and Bev Hills in black and white. I gather that they're from an earlier generation of street signage; I'm sure the city hasn't always used blue and white.
