Well, I guess we won't have - as a friend of mine calls them - "Barney the Purple Dinosaur" shields and signs for the Triangle Expressway. In a tweet update for the Westpark Tollway signs (Are you following Gribblenation on Twitter? You should!), I asked NCDOT if the TriEx will have similar purple guide signs.
In an example of today's social media, I received a response last Friday, "@gribblenation no -purple is reserved ONLY 4 transponder electronic tolling. TriX will utilize that plus another type of toll collection."
So there you have it - we won't have purple shields on the TriEx. Most likely it will be a standard NC 540 shield with a Black on Yellow "TOLL" banner above it.
Note: NCDOT has been awesome in their responses to tweets we've made asking questions on the TriEx. This is the second time we've tweeted them a question/comment and they've replied both times!
