Because STOP signs receive higher priority for replacement when damaged or missing, STOP signs may be in a slightly better condition than other regulatory and warning signs.

Streetsigns meanings

These marks can be used as a channel entrance, centre line, mid-channel, or landfall buoy. The Western port Fairway buoy is a local example of this mark. The shape of the buoy can be a sphere, spar or pillar and is coloured with red and white vertical strips. The topmark, which is fitted, when practicable, to pillar and spar buoys, is a single red sphere. If lit, an isophase, occulting, one long flash every ten seconds, or morse ‘A’ (dot, dash) white light is exhibited. The buoy shape is optional but should not conflict with that used for a lateral or special mark.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), maintains over 140,000 signs on over 88,000 posts and poles in Portland. New signs are designed to last 10 to 12 years before the sign's ability to provide minimum night-time reflectivity is no longer adequate. Graffiti, orientation to ultraviolet radiation, and airborne industrial pollutants dramatically reduce the sign's useful life.  Changes in traffic regulations and changes in material standards can cause certain groups of signs to be replaced sooner.

Certain classes of signs, like guide signs and street name signs, are in worse condition than other sign types due to a lack of resources and the lower priority placed on these signs.
