I hate new version!

I've been lurking at this thread for quite a long time now. I'd better get out of the closet and admit myself to be a roadgeek as well. A lot of great signs in here! It's actually funny to see the improvement from the early pages of this thread.

Anyway, these are two experimental signs from me, to be seen along the A-1 in my CJ. They are heavily based on actual Norwegian signage.

Pre-sign of Aaden Kreuz, the A-1 and A-11 interchange:

Nice signs! Is that the Swedish Tratex font you're using?

[MandelSoft 2,770]

Nope, you're wrong. That's definitely Highway Gothic / Roadgeek 2005 Series D

I just do what I've always done, upload it to imageshack and link it.

Just curious, what's the problem with ImageShack?

Here's an update on my VMS signage

most of all images that hosted by ImageShack don't show.

I think it's better to use photobucks or something like that

Here's an update on my VMS signage

Not bad, Fonz - the only thing I would suggest is making the 'Dial 511' sign a bit wider - it looks a little too vertically scrunched.

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

@NTM, you might want to update your links

I think I am going to replace those with links to Mrtlrlrn's sign tutorial, SC4 Dot, etc.

I attepted to make this sign(Which I photographed a couple of years ago in DC), into a sign stlye that matches my UC Style.....

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

Sorry for double posting, but I made some more ground signs:

(I know they should be capitalized, but I'm too lazy to reupload).

[Vahr 341]

Experimenting with prerendered gantry backgrounds with the signs superimposed in inkscape. I rather like how they turned out

[fonzyfb73 39]

^ Nice, great job!

[TekindusT 3,809]

@nathanthemayor: Seems that none of the links you posted in your original post linking to the signs doesn't work (good idea, BTW). I guess that his has happened because the whole site has changed, and, even though the links to threads work; this doesn't happen with links to specific posts...

@Blue Lightning: That's a very cool job! And with vectorial graphics!

Blue Lightning: Excellent work. Best signs (especially the support frame) I've seen yet,

I will start redoing all the links to specific signs tonight. I got that idea from the Airports thread(RoflYoshi hasn't updated it in a while).

[jdenm8 362]

Well... a little while since I last posted a sign.

Here's two new ones, based on Metroad Change signs here in Queensland which are uncommon, but used where one motorway turns into another for naming, routing, speed or status reasons. (Though, sometimes the Motorway/Highway name isn't on the sign, only the route shield)

These are set in 2002, back when END speedsigns (denoting speedlimit reversion to the Rural Speed Limit, generally 110km/h) were still common on more rural roads.

In more urban areas, the two are usually teamed together in a rectangular 2+1 sign, using the supports of a destination sign, instead of two separate signs.

As you can probably tell, the signs are for the opposing directions of the same road.

I decided that I will not do the links as it will take too much time and will get crammed later on.

My latest sign(MIT stands for Mountain Island Tollway)

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

Cool signs mrtnlrn!

What does "hehr um!" mean?(let me guess it says "No enter!"?

[MandelSoft 2,770]

^^ Well, sort of, but the context is correct. "Kehr um!" (Schellingen uses the German language) would mean "Return" or "Turn around". This sign is placed at freeway exits to warn people they are driving the wrong way and they should turn around. The yellow-greenish background makes the sign more noticable.

[antsel 841]

Those signs are awesome Maarten!

I haven't seen anyone try this - http://www.kurumi.com/roads/signmaker/index.html

I have found that Kurumi's SignMaker makes some nice US style signs, and if you download the application, you can modify the shields file to use your own custom shields, albeit it is somewhat difficult.

Ah, yes. Signmaker. I used to use it (as shown in my previous uploads). It's great for normal US signs, but I mainly make California-style signs, and the layout can get a little funky sometimes, so I use Illustrator instead to make my signs.

[MandelSoft 2,770]

Well, there are certain reasons I don't use SignMaker:

- It's limited to US/Canada signs only

- The arrows are incorrect (too blocky, which would only fit on belgian signage)

- It doesn't offer too much freedom

- The color shades are in my opinion bad.

- InkScape offers more freedom

Lovely signs, mrtnrln! It's good to see some more great work from you.

Well, I'll add that to the "Useful links" on the 1st page........

EDIT:

Made some signs for Paridise Island:

Nice set of signs NTM.

I'm wondering, has anyone considered making highway signs as Mayor Mode ploppable flora?

Yup . . . . David (dedgren) has experimented with some of that stuff in his Three Rivers Region project over on SC4D.
