Does anyone miss the old text signs?

I can't think of any in Florida. Maybe there's one for A1A, since that's become a street name as well as a route number.

Florida used to use the text shields on I-4 at the SR 528 interchange for decades.  In 1990 or 91 it was when they went traditional with it and even later tried to text an outline of the latest toll acorn shape shields, but a few weeks later covered it up with the normal toll shields.

As far as all caps go, you had the FL 100 interchange in Flagler County before the exit numbers were installed in 1982, had "FLA 100" spelled out completely.  Even though FL, to my knowledge, has always used the state road prefix instead of the state name in common talk for its state designations.  Also even up to the mid 90's the exit for Busch Boulevard in Tampa along I-275 N Bound used "Fla 580" as a denotation for the route on the advanced guide leading up to it.

This may offend some of you, but I can't wait for SCDOT to replace the text signs at Exit 102 on I-95. They can include the name "Road 400" in the signs if they want, but they really should replace the text with US 15/US 301 shields.

I actually remember some all-text BGS's on I-75 in northern Kentucky that lasted until at least the late '80s. I think there was one that said "Ky 1072", for instance. And the BGS's for US 25 in Fort Mitchell said "Dixie Hwy North" and "Dixie Hwy South" - no mention at all of any route numbers.

Many of the Road XXX signs in South Carolina have been replaced in recent years by their formal name, so there is hope that SCDOT will update it:

Road 13 changed to show Bees Creek Road on I-95.
Road 34 changed to McLeod Road on I-95.
Road 36 changed to show Homestead Road on I-26.

Those two, I've actually seen.
