DOT replacing faded street signs around Shore region

Slowly, those faded signs hanging from traffic lights and identifying cross streets are being replaced by bright, readable green ones.

The good news is the state Department of Transportation crews have replaced about 1,200 of the worn, almost unreadable signs, said Erin Phalon, DOT spokeswoman. But there are about 10,000 signs left statewide to be replaced, she said.

The bad news is at least one of the new signs has a spelling error, said Lloyd Stone of Manalapan, who lobbied to have a faded sign at Taylors Mills Road and Route 9 replaced.

It was replaced, but the new sign reads "Taylor Mills Road.''

Other drivers, such as Richard Romano of Lakewood, said many of the signs on Route 88 in Brick and Lakewood are faded to the point of being unreadable.
