I've wondered if there's a layout of the city which indicates where all of these signs are supposed to be at in case of a natural disaster and they need to be replaced. A lot of these are in place because of accidents that have occurred at that specific location.
Most cities/counties have a GIS software (some are available to the public) which has all kinds of information including this. Google your local County GIS, you may be able to see for yourself.... You would be suprised of what is tracked, some even have all public trees and the dates they were planted..... (The City/County usually has an internal version which is updated more regularly and contains more sensitive information such as where water lines are, etc.... which the public cannot accsess, you may or may not be able to see signs on your public one depending on County....)
This was fascinating!! I had no idea that NYC made their own signs and how many are made If all NYC Sign Shops are equal, that's 500,000 signs per year!!! I bet there are some sign companies that wish they made and sold that many signs!!
Dead meme... Why do you post this on every single video you watch ? People don't care about searching... TH-cam knows what you want to watch... Stop beging for likes
Omg same! I kept looking at it and thinking how wrong and weird the word looked on the sign and it even had me questioning if it was spelled wrong. By the end I just felt like the word didn’t even exist.😂
@AM people don't run stop signs because they're on their phones. and it's also not because the stop signs aren't glow in the dark. stop blaming phones on things when you can't handle change in this world. grow up, the world is changing, get used to it.
Each borough has it's own sign shop? Why? Seems like it would be more efficient for the state DoT to make all the signs at one facility in a cheaper location upstate.
You can buy official traffic stop signs that are MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) compliant from a number of websites, including Amazon. They run around $16 plus shipping - and you can find almost any traffic sign you want. They are the exact same quality, engineer grade, that you find on any city street with the protective 3-D sheeting and inks and they are made of rust-free aluminum. The standard is 12" x 12" but you can also get them in 4 sizes up to 30" x 30" for $50.
Let’s be honest guys. In NYC, nobody gives a shit about traffic signs. The only rule that everybody seems to respect is to honk at everyone and everything.
Insider forgot to ask some fundamental questions? If NYC has its own sign shop, why are they so bad? I mean getting off the Lincoln or the GW signs are terrible. And why are the designs so bad? I figure the shop doesn’t design them, but who does? Need more research because this has real implications. Missed exits for one.
The more I look at the word ‘STOP’ the less it looks like ‘STOP’
what
I tot i was crazy good to know someone is with me not just me who sees it
DMD Productions haha!
Thought it was just me
you might be dyslexic lol
This is really cool! As a BMW driver, I've never seen one of these "Stop" signs but they seem pretty interesting
Insider drinking game: Take a shot every time they reuse the same clip
Content farms be like
To be fair, at least they actually went to the place this time
melanie lol
I dead
Abbe angreji
It’s funny how if you stare at a word long enough it just stops making sense
I forgot how to say stop, after looking at it for so long. I read it, STOOOP at the end. Lmao
Or when it starts to sound like not a word. Like: cabin
A glitch in the matrix indeed
semantic satiation

Yeah
The DOT publishes a dataset that's available online to view. To my knowledge, it only indexes parking signs, but all of them are on there.

Fun fact, the city of Paris only has one single Stop sign. The rest are right priorities and red lights
Fun fact there’s literally one on every city block here where I live
@@elonmusk6541 In Paris or?
It’s because Paris are too busy putting up their LED pharmacy signs
And roundabouts
it's not there anymore
My grandma lived across the street RIP grandma Dotti love you

“It’s all made by hand”
Proceeds to show how it goes trough the machines
"Why the heck would anyone want to know about how stop signs are made?"
*Clicks on video*
Let’s be honest no one searched this
Kyle Cooper no shit it just got uploaded 🤦🏽♂️
Let's be honest this comment is Unoriginal
Kyle Cooper actually I searched it up
Dead meme... Why do you post this on every single video you watch ? People don't care about searching... TH-cam knows what you want to watch... Stop beging for likes
I was just thinking I’d never look for this but imma just watch it 😂
2:30 Wait, that's illegal.
He's taking his horse to the old town road
AAA
"Stop" no longer looks or sounds like a real word to me.
Tell that to the officer next time you run a stop sign 😂
Omg same! I kept looking at it and thinking how wrong and weird the word looked on the sign and it even had me questioning if it was spelled wrong. By the end I just felt like the word didn’t even exist.😂
Semantic satiation?
@@delrasshial7200 Oh that is a good term.
The best part of the video is when the music stopped for a second
insider always posts exactly what i wanted to know.....
mind reading??
Mette it’s that sneaky algorithm again!
Austin Mollno has entered the chat 😅
I saw the sign. Or, how NYC's stop signs are made.
ace of base!!!!!!!!
This video taught me things I didnt know i wanted, and needed to know.
Thanks TH-cam. I didn't know how much I needed to see this.
Pretty neat little minidoc/editorial thing. We need more news like this that don't involve politics
Looks like such a chill job.
I wanna buy one of those signs for my room!
The stop sign is my personal favourite sign.
Oh Hey There, Didn't Expect to see You Here, I Remember you
Love this!
Thanks for teaching me about the Speed limits and the walking signs
3am and having schoo tomorow
My brain cells : HOW ARE STOPS SIGNS MADE?
“Can you make one small enough to brutally hit a child and fend off many Karens?”
Everybody gangsta until the sign written down SOTP on it.
Whoa. This is cool!
Haven't you ever just sat there and wondered how stop signs are made... i don't think anyone needed this.
nobody:
the narrator in this video: "new york citeh"
2:34 the EXIT sign is actually huge
You don't realize how big highway signs are until you're up close to one lol. Same thing with traffic lights
Fun Fact The America Stop Signs Are The Same As Australia Stop Signs
Stop signs should be updated this is 2020 for God’s sake they should glow in the dark
@AM too*
@AM people don't run stop signs because they're on their phones. and it's also not because the stop signs aren't glow in the dark. stop blaming phones on things when you can't handle change in this world. grow up, the world is changing, get used to it.
What ad this is without a link? I want to buy one!
I use this video as a bookmark daily.
Insider's videos just bring awareness to everyone. Thats what i think.....anyway.
What type of paint is use?
so does anyone know where i can buy one? i like the way they look but don’t wanna buy one that’s been stolen 🙂
New Macedonia Stop signs are similar to the UK:STOP is written in a different font compared to Greece,but in the Greek shade of red
who can i call to have some signs replaced by queens hospital, i got two tickets , no sign in sight!
Ok I must say I've been thinking about this since i was 4 thank you 😂
i never really thought to ask where road signs come from. it seems like they just arose spontaneously.
The most ignored sign in NYC
I watch so many Insider videos that this video appears on my recommendation...
I will Support you
When I read “NYC stop signs” I thought they would say “Stop My Guy”
I like this cool video 👍😍
Admiral General Aladeen has number in his name
I love that is just for nyc for the rest of the world stops are completely diferent xd
The only reason I'm here is because I've watched all the other videos here on youtube.
I’ll now think about how much work was put into this stuff next time I steal a speed limit sign
awesome!
HA, the stop sign in my town was put there in the 80s and has never been replaced cause of money, but still looks like new
You didn't search for this video, the video searched for you
I honestly never thought street signs are that big.
New Yorkers looking at these are like WOAHHH. IVE SEEN THIS AROUND.
How to make:
Hexagonal mold
Traffic sign sticker
Apply sticker on front side of the mold
Done
So can I buy the vandalized ones?
Nope.
sdo u hv vacancy for reflective sign board designer and maker pls let me knoe
not me who searched stop sign cardboard as a jojo refrence
Each borough has it's own sign shop? Why? Seems like it would be more efficient for the state DoT to make all the signs at one facility in a cheaper location upstate.
I would go there take a few signs and put it on my block
How to save money reuse signs left from road construction after the road is done pick up the signs
i betcha the second “best selling” sign is “roadwork ahead”
Anyone here before this blows up?
tbh i wanna know the prices for a sigh. just so i can buy another one
Wait can you buy any of the signs from them because I street sings
I’m wondering the same thing. I want to buy an official stop sign for my room and not the cheap ones they sell at gag stores.
@@rowelle yes I would love a green high way sign with my city and my name.
Joey Knight that would be sweet!
@@rowelle yes

So, exactly like the stop signs for every other place in the United States?
I had a stroke reading the title😂
tell me why i watched this like “humans are so advanced they make signs”
To quote the old newspaper term: are they made in a "stop press"?
Imagine they were buyable, id get them all instantly
Fun fact. If a stop sign doesn't have a county sticker on the back, it's not an enforceable stop.
Bro curious George explained this like a decade ago
So intresting
Must be 3 am again
I heard these are being made to replace the ones the Astros stoled.
Wait I thought they were factory made. Holy cow.
Anyone else here at 3 am lmao
This is a job you get into and retire from. Seems hella easy and you'll never not have work.
Next: How the lines on the streets are painted.
The first people who clicked on the video: Came here first
Me: wow congrats i dont give a #@&*
Thumbs up for "Atlantic Ave"
“How Signs Are Made”
FTFY
I don’t even think about stop signs when I see them
Stop dosent look like a real word anymore
Next up: How come socks always get holes.
no one definitely searched this. Period
I think Philly could use some new signs... Lol
The narrator sounds like a hottie ❤
Let’s be honest guys. In NYC, nobody gives a shit about traffic signs. The only rule that everybody seems to respect is to honk at everyone and everything.
So basically they make everywhere’s stop sign!
My grandma once told me that stop stands for slow tires on pavement
Sure it’s 3 am. But it’s a video on how stop signs are made.
I’m thinking so blue stop signs 💀

Oh yeah those big red sighs that say stop that nobody seems to care about in my city
Japanese Stop signs
Hexagonal colored deep red with white crust and text in Kanji
Now do how Paris stop signs are made.
They are not. There are no stop signs in Paris. Or to be exact, just one.
