It’s a sign of the times.
Oklahoma transportation officials will begin placing new road signs along Route 66 in 2021 because travelers say the historic highway needs to be more clearly marked.
“Route 66 will be more visible to not just tourists, but also your average traveler or just average Oklahoman, which I think will also be very effective of just making more people aware of how valuable the road is,” said Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell, who also serves as Oklahoma’s secretary of tourism.
