HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Do you know of a traffic sign that someone knocked over or damaged? Hillsborough County leaders want to know about it.

The county maintains over 140,000 signs. Officials admit there are too many signs for them to be aware to know when a single one need to be fixed. That is the reason they are counting on you.
