The FHWA has released new regulations that will require signs to be changed from ALL CAPS to a Combination of Lower and Upper Case, which according to the new rules, makes seeing the lettering easier. The new rules also call for more reflective traffic signs, a nod to Baby Boomers and Seniors driving at night with diminishing eyesight.
