Description
This is a photograph taken by Charles Kenneth Savage to illustrate the type of road sign color and paint that should not be used on scenic by-ways. Savage was a local activist in the Mount Desert Island area who was instrumental in convincing local and state authorities to change their approach to signage on public roads on Mount Desert Island. Savage advocated painting the back side of all state and local road signs in a grey or other neutral color so as not to detract from the natural landscape and scene.
