I found this assembly that I alluded to in another thread, that used the same panel style (E/EM, centered "H1", state highway numbers closer to the bottom). Ironically, I prefer the Clearview assembly from 2011 or so, considering the spacing looks atrocious on the outer two signs, almost as if there were no spaces at all.

One extra space will still allow all the text to fit comfortably (pretty close to the edge on the Middle St sign, but still fits decently). Those signs were designed very poorly.

Found two more overpass signs, both of these were from the first wave of updates in March 2025 when they updated the H1 from Ka'onohi St to Ala Kapuna St. One thing I noticed was that they actually corrected the "Ala Kapuna St" sign to add the missing "St" suffix as it's listed on most maps/sites. I didn't pass by the Aiea Heights Dr. sign when I took these photos yesterday, but I believe they also fixed the mistake where it said "Rd" instead of "Dr".

I also find it confusing how bad that sign was designed because it has a "twin" sign in Pearl Harbor that actually looks like one of the best signs I've seen from them in recent years. Then again, spaces are the main factor and this sign did not need any.

Corrected version of the "'Aiea Heights Dr" overpass label that went up last month. Originally it said "Aiea Heights Rd." by mistake, which isn't surprising since there is an "Aiea Access Rd." and a  "Halawa Heights Rd" nearby. So many drivers and businesses such as UPS also make this mistake regularly.

Are there instances of the H201 sign being wider? That font looks way too narrow.
