Pudong Street Signs Are Bigger
Shanghai Consists of two Parts if you generalize it a bit.
There is Puxi and there is Pudong. West (Xi) from the river and East (Dong) from the river Huangpu.
Pudong is also more over sized which is expressed by their street signs.

If you don’t see the difference it’s due to my picture taking capabilities, the Pudong one. Believe me, the Pudong street signs are huge.

I’m afraid you are wrong. We have those green street signs as well. Have you noticed that the bigger blue ones are always only found at street corners? Never in the middle of a road? That’s because these are only made for the convenience of people behind the wheels.

Thanks. I have never noticed the green street signs in Pudong, my bad, as I hardly venture beyond the Starbucks next to the river. I like the big ones though, easy to read.

Yeah, I can imagine. There’s really not much to do over here. We got those bigger signs because the city figured that there are probably more people driving in Pudong. I mean, I used to live in Puxi too but my whole family decided to move to the other side of the river as soon as my dad got a car. The streets are so much wider here (You are so right), and most importantly, few places in Puxi have free parking spaces.
