Who invented the street signs?

Question

Who invented the street signs?

Answer 1

Izicatia Strreetis

That is why they are called streets to this day. One of his competitors (who was two minutes later then he to the patent office) was Jorgan Froads. Because of some confusion over the who the inventor was, it was decided by the supreme court in France in 2 BC that both Roads (the f was silent) and Street should both have the honor of having trails that were covered with cobble stone or better called one or the other with preference not being showed to either.

This suit was latter challanged by Nathew Boulevard and others.

It is for this reason there are many things we call paved through fares.

To this day an one posting such a sign must pay a 1 cent royalty for the use of such terms when using these names. Which is why some towns use terms such as court or circle and the such.

Answer 2

Bureau of Public Roads

Citizens in America began forming automobile clubs in the early 1900s. These groups took it upon themselves to mark their local sections of highway with signs to warn and direct drivers. This scattered effort resulted in a wide variety of sign designs and messages in different sections of highway, which caused confusion among motorists. In 1924, the first steps toward national uniformity in road signs were taken by the Bureau of Public Roads. Designers were faced with developing signs to guide a largely illiterate population of motorists. As a result, color and shape were especially important components of signs from the beginning.

Answer 3

The earliest road signs were milestones, giving distance or direction; for example, the Romans erected stone columns throughout their empire giving the distance to Rome. In the Middle Ages multidirectional signs at intersections became common, giving directions to cities and towns.

Traffic signs became more important with the development of automobiles. The basic patterns of most traffic signs were set at the 1908 International Road Congress in Rome. Since then there have been considerable change. Today they are almost all metal rather than wood and are coated with retroreflective sheetings of various types for nighttime and low-light visibility.
