As an observation, much "official" road signage I've seen uses some really klunky-looking fonts. And the letter spacing is atrocious. Considering that the primary function of this signage is easy readability and quick conveyance of information or instructions off a fast moving target under sometimes awful light conditions, it would seem to be an anomaly. I guess non-type savvy engineers did some field testing and this is the best they could come up with. Neil
