I've seen at least two signs here in Western Washington that I'm pretty sure are Transport:

This one doesn't look like Transport. Perhaps it's the thin stroke-width (is Medium, when it should be Heavy? It looks too thin for Medium) throwing me off - the all caps examples don't look like it either because Transport is always used mixed-case in the UK.

Certainly the ½ on that sign isn't Transport as Transport doesn't have the line (as it means the numbers have to be smaller).

The fraction is probably the result of the software used to draw up the sign (GuidSign, I suspect). But the numerals definitely match up. It could even be the more recent commercial version of the font (Transport 2000?), which does have a lighter weight.

In Lodi, CA the overhead signs on intersections with signals has these, or if I'm wrong?

Could you provide a Google Maps link? Images that I'm seeing do not show anything other than FHWA ("Highway Gothic").

Please read our rules carefully. You should not be resurrecting old posts unless you have something to add. In this case you do, which is fine, but we have had to remove some that do not add content. Thank you.
