Washington — The Obama administration is scrapping a rule that required hundreds of thousands of street signs to be replaced by 2018 — and instead will allow communities to upgrade them as they wear out.
The Federal Highway Administration is proposing Tuesday to eliminate 46 deadlines for bigger or better road signs.
"A specific deadline for replacing street signs makes no sense and would have cost communities across America millions of dollars in unnecessary expenses," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said.
