Stood in the rain for 20 minutes trying to read a bus sign that was designed all wrong

I was at a bus stop in Portland last week and the route map was printed in this tiny light gray font on a white background. Could not read a single stop name from 3 feet away. Has anyone else run into signs that look clean but are totally useless in real life?

Honestly I used to think design didn't matter but standing in rain changed my mind fast.

Ugh I gotta disagree with @thompson.xena on this one though. Bad bus sign design is on the city not on the idea of design itself, plenty of good signs hold up in rain just fine.
