Big Black Signs

[Quillz]

However, Idaho uses white-on-black for their highway shields (it's reversed for their markers), so the color scheme does still see usage.

Not anymore:

None of these images are still around. Is there a more recent pic? Either way, that's a shame. I actually borrowed the idea of inverted marker/shield templates for my California renumbering project.

Ah, found it in the linked supplement PDF. Yeah, it seems like a bit of a downgrade. Not having an outer border hurts legibility, I think. There's a reason signs have black borders inside a white border. What they had before looks a lot nicer.

I originally thought the signs that might've inspired this thread were here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4095255,-78.7095548,3a,75y,329.21h,80.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slvw0oyZddI7nqkEHiMnXuA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656


And here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4104442,-78.7110161,3a,75y,329.21h,80.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7MQKOR9biDmzvanqT2ABZQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656


And of course, here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.411245,-78.7121821,3a,75y,320.88h,93.59t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9WnAV0Ax8NVCJlp-7RHGnA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

And I can see that's not the case.

The second one isn't showing up.

I see it. You may need to open it in a new tab using right-click.

I tried to open it, and Flickr is explicitly saying it's a bad link.

Hm... for me, the images from Corco Highways don't show up unless I open them in a new tab, but my Flickr photos load just fine.

I did not notice there was actually four links in the post. Pictures 1, 3, and 4 show up. The second also is not working for me.
