Reply to comment by Running1982 in Am I truly a dumb or is it actually hard to get around the city on SEPTA? by RoverTheMonster

You know, there was a guerrilla artist some years back in Los Angeles who added a sign at a major freeway interchange to make a certain turnoff clearer and safer - perfectly reproducing the sign style, font, every aspect of standard freeway sign. Can't recall how long it was up before somebody official noticed and removed it. I think it would take a fraction of the effort to make guerrilla wayfinding signs for SEPTA...

The city of LA actually kept the sign you're referring too btw, they replaced it with a more official sign

SEPTA's signage style is so inconsistent, no one would even bat an eye. I've seen wayfinding signs that consist entirely of a piece of printer paper haphazardly taped to the wall!
