This road sign art exhibit in Meadville, Pennsylvania began in 2001 and was created by professors and students from Allegheny College. It features sculptures made from recycled road signs up to 12 feet tall in the shape of flowers and other objects. There are a total of 11 flower sculptures along Route 322 that were designed to beautify the area and increase awareness of the college. A second similar exhibit along Route 6 features larger kinetic sculptures, including a 10-foot ferris wheel and 20-foot jumping fish sculpture, powered by solar and wind energy. The artists chose to depict scenes from Crawford County in their recycled road sign art.
