- yes, a lot of signs were added the first half of 2016 due to the attention brought by the passage of open carry, and the antics of groups I won't name
- that you are still see a lot of signs reported a year later, not because businesses are still putting up signs at the same rate, but because
- we are still playing 'catch-up' and documenting signs put up some time ago
- as more people join Texas3006.com and as the android and iphone apps for it get better, we have more sets of eyes looking for, and consequently finding and reporting signs.
In my side of the RGV (Mission, McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, etc), I'm fairly certain that the sign hunting process has been thorough, and what's in Texas3006.com is representative of reality. I'm equally sure, based on the correlative town sizes, that the lower RGV (Harlingen, San Benito, Brownsville) have an order of magnitude more signs than have been reported.
My geek scifi fantasy would be to introduce a virus into the camera software of the google maps cars for pattern recognition of 06/07 signs and have them automatically submitted to Texas3006.com
