In Response To: Re: Metric soapbox OT (Andy Waddington)

: American road signs are made from 6061-T6 alloy. They ain't going to rust anytime soon.

As a NHDOT construction engineer (my other day job) I can vouch for that statement. The flat signs can also be made of 5052-H38 aluminum. They're usually replaced when the retroreflective sheeting and the copy fades... or if the sign falls apart from too many bullet holes or gets covered in too many stickers (the latest fad).
