No pictures yet, but looks like the road signs around property are starting to transition to a blue and gold color scheme that will match the entry arches and Transportation and Ticket Center. Will updated with photos when I can.

Oddly, this is the kind of change that irks me more than any new room design, costume change, etc., .
Disappointed by this, but understand that things must change and evolve. The purple road signs are/were so iconic and really differentiated Disney property roadways.

Paint left over from the canceled 34th paint job for Cosmic Rewind?
The current Imagineers clearly want to leave their distinct mark on the parks, and they are doing that with little regard paid to the legacy of the old farts who have left the company or died.

To align with the updated color scheme of the entrance signs and several other areas....

I thought new signs were inevitable since they changed the color scheme for the entrance signs. Can’t wait to see them in person!
The first move in the change from The Most Magical Place on Earth to a dystopian urban environment theme ala Blade Runner.
After the 50th, of course.

Not going until March but these look fine and seem to be easier to read in the pics at least. I'll know for sure come next trip when I drive around.

The purple signs were indeed iconic but also felt VERY ‘90s. I don’t really have a problem with this. It doesn’t even scratch my top 50 concerns for the parks.
Directional signage needs to be easy to read, first and foremost. These signs are.

I wonder about the visibility of these signs. There’s a reason the old signs were purple and standard highway signs are brighter colors and shades. Add in some rain or fog and that looks like it’ll be hard to see.

For those of us who have been going to WDW for decades the previous signs and color scheme were iconic. For those just visiting for the first time in 2022 they were dated.
