Curve Warning Signs Getting Upgrades In Morris County
2,800 new curve warning signs will be installed to meet new federal regulations.
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Curve warning signs around the county will be upgraded to confirm with federal government standards, Morris County officials said.
Work on signs around the county will start in August, and wrap up by the end of December to meet a Dec. 31 federal deadline. County funds will be used to complete the project.
Many of the signs date back to the 1950s and 1960s, when they were installed by the state Department of Transportation.
