This assembly will get a ".mоdоt.оrg" added to it.

All logo signs will have URLs for each business linking to their listing on Google Maps.

What updates should be done to the shields for US and Canadian highways?

All Interstate routes should have a maple leaf included on the shields to make residents of the 51st state comfortable.

You understood the assignment extremely well. There's no shittier answer.

All autoroutes shall be signed with red text and outline on a white background with the existing symbol on the bottom replaced with a red maple leaf and the freeway symbol on top replaced with an American flag.

To help address funding shortfalls, the speed limit will be replaced with a question mark and a QR code (no typing while driving!) for motorists to make a donation and then be told the day's maximum tolerated speed.

Once Europe decides to add Route E621 to their E-road network, the construction signs will tell motorists to learn more about the project by visiting e621 dot net.

(If you don't know what that website is, you probably don't want to look it up.)

Alanland needs it own top-level domain.  .ala perhaps.  I think this is needed.

It's a website about how MSG isn't actually a horrible ingredient, right?

In other words:  would you and Jake like to fulfil an order for 125 of these?

Yeah, we could do that. But then again we have a plasma cutter, and I don't know if most DOTs do. (And Jake would be over the moon if we got an order for 125 signs in one day.)

I have a cutout Nevada sign I got from work. I could probably use the Laughlin end as a weapon in the event of a home invasion. But we made it just fine.

Also the post I was responding to only mentioned the US route shield; it didn't mention anything about any Canadian shields. US route shields always being cutouts is generally agreed to be good enough idea around these parts that it's hard to say it's the "worst possible answer".

Sorry, trimming the nested quotes messed me up.  Here's a properly trimmed quote, which does indeed mention the TCH.

the U.S. highway shield must always be a cutout.

And give the same treatment to the TCH as well.

Are y'all having problems or something?

[kphoger]

It already has .aa for its TLD.

As an example, here is a link to a document using .gov.aa from 2022:

Are you saying that making a cutout of the leaf would be an improvement?  Come on, man!  I love cutout shields as much as the next guy, but that would be a bit much.

In other words:  would you and Jake like to fulfil an order for 125 of these?

Hey, hold on, cutout means cutout, so the banners should be included as separate cutouts.

What U.S. state should switch to a state-shaped cutout route shield?

[PColumbus73]

What U.S. state should switch to a state-shaped cutout route shield?

Hawaii. Each 'shield' is a cutout of all of the islands. (Edited for clarity)

[kphoger]

Wyoming, with the state shape horizontally compressed by 24.7% for 2-digit shields, by 5.9% for 3-digit shields.

Oh, wait, my bad, Florida and Oklahoma are obviously the worst answer.

Venezuela

Minnesota, but the state shape should be that of Iowa.

Dig it.

Michigan.  Guaranteed fodder for the Signs With Design Errors thread when someone screws up and doesn't include the Upper Peninsula.

What U.S. state should switch to a state-shaped cutout route shield?

Louisiana, but they have to update the shields every year to reflect coastline loss.

[jlam]

Connecticut, but including their 1785 claims

[ModernDayWarrior]

What U.S. state should switch to a state-shaped cutout route shield?

Illinois, but it has to be three-dimensional to show all of the huge mountains there.

[formulanone]

Connecticut, but including their 1785 claims

There should be a historic highway called the Western Reserve Motion Trail.
