As seen here and here, I've made Talossan road signs. I'm planning to make a redesign using a different font and altering some signs.

"Highway Gothic" (FHWA Series fonts) is what we use here in the US, so you're probably familiar with it.

"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to god." - Thomas Jefferson

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, but your government only when it deserves it." - Mark Twain

"Democracy is not a tearing down; it is a building up. ... It does not destroy; it fulfills. It is the consummation of all theories of government, the spirit of which all the nations of the earth must yield. It is the great constructive course of the ages." - Calvin Coolidge

Also got to see some while driving thrhough the Netherlands to get to London. According to Wikipedia they use a font derived from Highway Gothic.

If there would be some sort of font mixer, then I would mix Transport, DIN 1451, Drogowskaz and Highway Gothic all into one font.
