Drove by this new location this past weekend and noticed such a short sign. Usually along interstates they have a much taller and larger sign. Coming up over those hills a traveller wouldn't notice it until they've already passed the exit.

I agree, not sure what the thought process was here. Nice looking store otherwise

Regarding the signs, remember this is within OKC limits and there are lots of rules.

They had to apply for an exception just to get what they have now.

Totally makes sense. I wouldn't think the way it's signed now would really be their preference. I must be mistaken that there are taller signs around. You can see the Loves and Flying J signs up at 122nd for a good ways, but now that I think about it they're situated on top of a hill up there so that's probably the difference. The new QT is situated there in a small valley of sorts.

Also, some signs were grandfathered in before tighter restrictions.

The signs are small. The one good thing they have going for them are the billboards along i-35 at NE 50th going NB and at E Seward going SB that have already been installed and tell drivers and truckers where to exit the highway. That will help get the travelers in the door which is what they are targeting.

The new QT opens tomorrow (Thursday, 10/3) at 6 AM.

QT places second in list of best c-stores. WaWa wins, Buc-ee's ties for third.

What's going on with that sidewalk to nowhere

It's probably a drainage channel.

I though new builds had sidewalks as a requirement?

It must not apply to interstate frontage roads.

Loads of new development on either side of I-35 and none of it has sidewalks.

Per PUD-1854, Section 9.12 "Five-foot sidewalks shall be constructed along Hefner Road and the I-35 service road, or 6-foot sidewalks shall be required if the sidewalk is constructed adjacent to the curb, subject to the policies and procedures of the Public Works Department." Their attachments also refer to a bike lane.

I haven't been there, just saw the pics above. They don't always follow zoning plans that close, but should follow the zoning rules, so...
