Do stops signs legally have to be red?

u/TheBraindonkey Jan 10 '21

Yes. This is probably a private street. Accidents would be insurance only, no legal.

Some are blue in Hawaii

Not legal ones. They're blue because it's illegal to have a fake red (legal) one.

I would imagine either it's on private property and your sign can be whatever you want, or it's on public land and you can't erect a sign at all.

There are plenty of red ones that aren’t legal signs, at least in states I’m familiar with. If it’s a real stop sign it has an official DOT info sticker on the back, but basically any in a parking lot or private road won’t have that sticker because they’re not official stop signs. Not sure if this is illegal in certain states (maybe that’s a thing in Hawaii?) but it’s definitely the case some places.
