Was looking thru the AgriSupply catalog the other night and the small print says they wont sell SMV signs to IL residents. Any one venture a guess why? I thought it was sort of odd.

The new signs are designed to be reflective twice as long and 10 times more than the old signs so they don't have to be replaced nearly as often. These signs are for YOUR safety so if you operate on roads I would recommend that you purchase the new signs even in states that do not require their use.
