DECOMMISSIONED Traffic Signs: My Biggest Lane Control & Exclusion Collection Tour

Welcome back to Sign Picker! 👋 In this video, Steve the traffic sign collector dives into the fascinating world of regulatory street signs, focusing specifically on the subcategories of Lane Control and Selective Exclusion signs.

Did you know these signs are governed by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)? We’re pulling out dozens of heavy-duty traffic control devices to explore their history, design evolution, and compliance standards.

What You'll Discover in this Sign Collection Tour:
Lane Control History: See the evolution of signs like "No Trucks," "No Right Turn" and "No Left Turn," including the rare supplemental text plaques used when symbol-based signs were first introduced in the 1970s.

Selective Exclusion: Check out vintage and modern "No Truck" signs, including a unique, non-compliant version from the City of Chicago with additional text ("Over five tons gross weight").

Non-Compliant & Unique Finds: Get an exclusive look at decommissioned and custom-made signs, like a non-compliant "No Car" sign that looks like it was designed to prohibit sports car loitering!

Outdated Designs: Discover old word-based lane control signs and signs with non-compliant reflective sheeting (yellowed white) that are no longer in service.

The Modern MUTCD: Learn how the official manual dictates the use, design, and color of every regulatory sign in the United States.

"Must Turn" Signs: See the heavy-duty Left Lane Must Turn Left and Right Lane Must Turn Right signs—still text-based despite the shift to iconography!

Wall Update: Watch the process of taking down the previous Yield Sign Wall and building the new Lane Control & Selective Exclusion Sign Wall!

As always, all signs in the collection were acquired legally after being retired or decommissioned—no sign stealing here! 😉

If you’re interested in street sign collecting, MUTCD regulations, or the history of road signs, this is a great video for you. Let us know in the comments what type of sign wall you want to see next!
