@ImVhOzzi: How are these so far?:

begin_autobahn_highway_hd_render.pngend_autobahn_highway_hd_render.pngend_all_restrictions_hd_render.pngspeed_limit_130_hd_render.png

Also, I've never heard of a Speed limit "turn": 50 (MIS - indicates the speed allowed in a sharp turn) sign. Not that you're description isn't clear, I've just never seen a European version of that kind of sign. If you have a picture of one, I'd love to see it so I can make a sign for you of it.

Regarding the chevrons for the ramps, that's more on a cosmetic texture mod front. I was at one point working on a mod to add chevrons to RHW ramps, but I stopped after finding out that the next version of the RHW Mod will have a new texture set. And since I don't have access to the new textures to modify, I can't make a cosmetic mod that would be compatible with RHW v5.0, and it would be pointless to make a mod for the current texture set of it will become obsolete very soon. I might restart the project after the release of RHW v5.0, though.

The signs look great! About the Speed Limit... sign - just use street view at this location to find it. Just remove the "km" at the bottom - it looks stupid and is also gramatically wrong (should be km/t). New Danish road signs haven't got it either.

I don't mind the chevron problem - your other work looks great!

It's not a single sign. I think he means a "sharp turn"-sign with a "Speed Limit: 50"-sing mounted below it.

I think he means the chevron sign at the exits, which is common in Denmark:

http://maps.google.nl/?ll=55.00477,9.365115&spn=0,0.030556&z=15&layer=c&cbll=55.004662,9.365203&panoid=CDm7YynwP6L79o3o0HLkiA&cbp=12,197.93,,1,2.59

Most other European countries place their exit sign there (do you know the german "Ausfahrt"-sign?), or use the chevron sign only at interchanges an non-exit splitters (for C/D-systems)

Best,

Maarten

Four more signs BATed:

I'm probably going to redo the Turn Speed Limit sign because you can't really tell that that there is an arrow at the end of the red line marking the curve. Other than that, what do you think?

EDIT: Made a slight adjustment to the Turn Speed Limit sign (New-Left, Old-Right). Which do you think is better? Or should I scrap both of them and try again?

I actually ment this sign combined with a speed limit sign. The one you've shown here is a typical danish sign. Here in the Netherlands these signs are more often combined with advisory speeds (instead of speed limit signs), like this:

http://maps.google.nl/?ll=52.03796,4.471012&spn=0,0.003484&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.037926,4.470845&panoid=V7AKy9iAQOCYUJmxuN9P1g&cbp=12,102.46,,2,-0.48

Also, these chevron signs will also be nice for sharp turns:

http://maps.google.nl/?ll=52.059391,4.728756&spn=0,0.027874&z=16&layer=c&cbll=52.059306,4.728544&panoid=ob-Zuk7K4UyMyZ_P-pV5gg&cbp=12,200.35,,0,7.14

The chevron sign looks OK, but it should have two supporting posts instead of one.

Could you also make speed limit signs for any speed between 50 and 100 km/h? (with steps of 10 km/h)

Any questions, comments, suggestions, or other requests? Note: I deepened the red in some of the signs.

About requests: how about these signs?

Wow, boost in activity while I've been away. :)

The signs look great, and I can see that maarten could see that I meant chevron signs and that you meant chevron textures on the asphalt. I can also see, that you've made speed limit signs down to 50 km/h - and a big thank you for doing that. Obviously, speed limit signs under 100 km/h doesn't have to be made for RHW-4 and upwards, but if you choose to make the "No overtaking -(by trucks)" sign, RHW compitable versions would be nice.

I hope you're still enjoying making the signs! :D

@ImVhOzzi: I'm still enjoying making the signs, though it is a little tedious. :P

Now I have a question for you guys: Which style of curve sign do you like better?:

curve_right_style_1.pngcurve_right_style_2.png

(^Style 1) (^Style 2)

Hmmm, mrtnrln says something. But I'll still take style 1. That's called "customising". ;)

i have some nice pictures of City bus stops for the city of cleveland region but you can find them on google maps i cant get the images right now becasue i dont know how to copy screens and make MS paint pictures like i was doing for other games i forgot how to do that. but im working on Cleveland, ohio. my goal is for you people to help make the cleveland terminal tower complex for me. i already have smith tower for seattle washington and i decided that was going to be the landmark for terminal tower and the subway line goes right under that block. between both streets superior and prospect. and when thos two streets join together theres a hole in the bottom of a building and you can see the trains going under ground. so i would need some kind of transit enabled subway thingy for trains that go into buildings instead of hill sides.

Hi,First id like to say i love all the work that you guys do. I wanted to ask if there is a generic set of signs for the RHW or Maxis Highways out there on the stex? All of my cities are Fictional so having signs from different areas of the US (although they look amazing) wouldn't work for me. I have no experience with lot editing and do not even know how to get started doing that. so i don't know how easy it would be to make them on my own.

I guess my question would be if it is possible to make signs for different interchanges and offramps with the interstate shields and other graphics on the sign already but Street names/Citys and highway numbers that can be added later?

If not i don't want to request something that only i would be using. So maybe a request i can make is for Generic North American signs that say things like "Downtown", "Commercial District", "Airport", "Beltway", Made up route numbers, etc.

i am sorry if these things have already been asked for or already exist on the stex. I tried searching for info but did not find anything yet.

Well, for me, it's that I'm working on other projects (mainly the EuroRHW) and exams are coming up starting from friday next week, so yeah, I don't have much time. Vince (Blue Lightning) is busy with NAM stuff, I believe, and about the other members I don't know...

    Hi, Will! Just wanted to let you (& everyone else) know that I've hit quite the RL patch. Full-time job has me uber-busy, and I don't have much time to model signs, unfortunately. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the groove soon!

    Hello,

    I've got a request for Maarten, since he is Dutch. I'm looking for a non-highway Dutch signage pack, but I can't find any of those signs. So could you tell me where I can find those signs (or could you make the signs?)

    A couple of signs I'd like to see:

    52965623.png

    44885068.png

    These are (in dutch) "voorwegwijzers" which I can't find. And could you also make a roundabout "voorwegwijzer"?

    a>

    and could you also make a dutch town sign?

    Thanks in advance!

    Koen
