Incorrect highway icons, misspelled street names, and inaccurate mileages are pretty much the order of the day these days. They need to look things over before submitting them. But make no mistake about this: Texas' signs do look better than before. I still miss the Series E, but I've come to accept Clearview as the font of choice.

It's easier to read and has a more modern look. Anything that enhances visibility and readability is good...remember, not everyone is a local and the weather isn't always good so the typeface ought to be bright, big and bold.

I heard from Andy Field that in the 1980s around the Wisconsin Dells area that there was a US 16 shield posted on WI 16! The shield's probably gone now, but I believe WI 16 represents US 16's former route through Wisconsin. And what the heck...how about bringing WI 30 back to its original length? So what if it's a bit redundant... (the short spur of WI 30 used to extend east to Milwaukee (supplanted by I-94) and west to Prairie du Chien (supplanted by US 18)) What about US 16 in most of the upper Midwest?

I taught of others to revive as well like US-21, US-25 in Ohio and of course US-66 ;-) Clearview is ok but not imaginative as Comic Sans ;-) Just resurrect only US-80?

Sure, why not? :) Clearview does tend to suck. Douglas County, GA, has used this font for their local street signs. Hopefully, the "Clearview Syndrome" won't spill over to GDOT BGSes.
