Wikipedia has links to samples of most of them. Here are some variations of Futhark.

(To be honest, the Dutch ANWB-Uu font is simply a variant of FHWA. Some small differences in appearance and spacing, but not really shocking.)

Anyways, Van Luxemburg uses DIN 1451. I've been working on motorway signage for a while, but it still needs some refining.

Exit signs
Motorway intersection
Service station signage
Non-motorway signs and misc.
Route information panels and traffic lights

According to Senatorial decree PT1022A, we use webdings. However, seeing as we have no highways, it's a bit of a moot point.

Highway signs? What 'highway signs'?

(We don't have a lot of vehicles, relatively speaking, anyway...)

We use white Sylfaen on blue, but that's the standard government correspondence scheme - as an FT nation we use message alert zones, of a sort, rather than highway signs.

Meciene uses Arial (for English) and Symbol (for Mecian). We're lazy like that.

And what is so ridiculous about seeing other nations' road signs, exactly? They're quite interesting, the lot of 'em.

I have one thing to say in this thread. It will answer both "What is your highway sign font?" and "What is your average roundabout radius?"

The answer is "We don't have them."

Sign shown at the Swilatian border, with the national speed limits.

by **Niur** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:32 am

unlike most signs trafic is in english

by **Fatatatutti** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:36 am

Well, we don't have any speed limits and most places don't have formal names, so... what highway signs?

by **Cor-Dem** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:36 am

Cars are banned in Cor-Dem.

by **Swilatia** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 12:14 pm

And a few more Swilatian road signs.

The Thread. We don't really need 24783953 different threads on the most banal of things.

At least highway sign fonts aren't prone to devolve into wankery, like 'lololol i has a maus' tank threads.

I eagerly wait for someone to prove me wrong.

Sure we do. It helps to add some colour to our nations instead of everybody just claiming to have the biggest, baddest army with no distinction whatsoever from the next biggest, baddest army.
