I’ve likely shown this one before, but it’s an amazing survivor on 7th Avenue and 1st Street in Park Slope. In 1964 the Department of Traffic, as it was then known, began installing a new species of street sign on NYC streets, made of flexible vinyl attached with metal braces. The first generation of this type sign was color-coded by borough, with Brooklyn receiving black signs with white type in Highway Gothic.
