¿Question #4959?
Randy Cox: Do they still create signs for highways that say "Phone"? Long ago, it was important to know which exits had phones, gas, and food--now it seems unnecessary to even mention the phones.

AzureiX: I don't believe so. Haven't seen one in ages.
bulldozers: Haven't seen one
jarredscott78: they still ex
knilob: I think I've seen one recently.
carl67lp: Unnecessary? What if your cell phone battery is dead?
DHEK: I don't know. We don't have that kind of system on the highways where I live.
warpozio: probably, somewhere
Chad Jensen: 709-555-7208
aleo09: not sure if they still make them. but it doesn't seem unnecessary to me.
scriptorum: I hope so. There's still a need for land phones, if only as a backup in case your cell goes dead. Also, the impoverished may undertake trips without a mobile and you wouldn't want them to be stranded on the highway.
powwowdancer: I'll add this to my list of "questions that I'll get around to in the psych ward" list.
Penguin_Hatcher: because everyone has a cellphone
POvidiusNaso: I doubt it.
ZeroZilla: I don't remember.
Reloaded: good question, I don't think so... only on long isoloated stretches do they have phones on the roadside.
dougpartridge: In australia, like many countries, we have those big green highway signs that we copied from the US. I don't ever remeber seeing a sign that indicated an exit with a phone.
Blacknightjj: yes
MaksimSmelchak: Irrelevant question.
vampywife: i've not seen one, although here in Germany, they rarely give you the gas and food signs, which makes driving to travel a bit irritating.
ryokowerx: They kind of went the way of the dinosaurs now that most people carry cell phones with them everywhere (for better or worse)
ciscokidnj: Hate cell phones, dont own one, and am annoyed by the lack of pay phones
BeeCeeJay: I don't know if they still *create* them, but I still see them occasionally.
VuduJoie: I bet they do, such things are in the hands of government agencies. I'm surprised they don't still have mule and horse crossing signs.
Helenoftroy: No and most gas stations no longer have them
LemonyFresh: Interesting! I tihnk I still see them, but they're probably not new.
brainrob: Depends on the network coverage
Loquutus: Haven't seen one recently, although if I do, I'll think fondly of Randy Cox.
RadAlienDad: I agree. How about replacing them with signs that say WiFi?
jasta6: Buy a Cell phone dude!!! Ya Think.....................
erli: You just answered your own question
GuyHill: yes
skelebone: I don't believe I've ever seen one that says "Phone" in my decade on the road. At best, I see Gas, Food, Lodging.
Mike A: I have a long road trip this weekend over a few states. I'll keep my eyes open for them.
chaddyboy_2000: I've never seen one.
Randy Cox: CortexBomb, just where have you been travelling. I see the words "PHONE" "GAS" and sometimes "FOOD" on those interstate signs all the time. Granted, they're getting a little faded, but they are still there. At least all the way up and down the eastern seaboard. But I do wonder if those inmates who make those signs are still putting those words on newer signs.
Lord_Prussian: I would agree. Landlines are darned near obsolete.
jttm: Ok
djlg: Yes.
CDRodeffer: I haven't seen one in ages.
CortexBomb: I have never seen any, and I travel a lot via auto
