South Dakota shields

I would like to request shields for South Dakota Highway 109 and South Dakota Highway 324. Dough 48 72 03:44, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Done I went ahead and remade the whole lot. —Fredddie ™ 03:54, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Route 66 shields

Could you make a shield for Route 66 shown here? Also, please make the same shield but for US84 and US54. They are signed on Interstate 40 in the Santa Rosa, New Mexico area and once near Tucumcari and I would like to place these in the article's exit list. Gfoley4 (talk) 00:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Are these in use anywhere on independent signs, or just on those big brown signs? —Fredddie ™ 03:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if they are used as shields on the highway itself but are sometimes used on the green guide signs in New Mexico. [1] [2] [3] Gfoley4 (talk) 17:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Would you like the shield to use the actual 1948 specifications? —Fredddie ™ 23:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

That would be good. Gfoley4 (talk) 01:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Done . However, before placing them in an article, you may wish to discuss the issue at WT:USRD, since some people may prefer the standard shields to be used. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:08, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Two Texas FM shields

I would like to request shields for Ranch to Market Road 1721 (File:Texas RM 1721.svg) and Farm to Market Road 1622 (File:Texas FM 1622.svg) for the infobox in Ranch to Market Road 1623. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 22:57, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Done –Fredddie ™ 23:42, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Capitol Loop

Ok, I got confirmation today from MDOT that: ""per federal law copyrights can not be placed on sign designs therefore the sign is in public domain. Although [I am] correct that it [Capitol Loop marker] does not appear in the MUTCD it is still consider a route marker." Additionally, "we make it a policy not to give out vector art for the simple reason it can be altered and we don't want altered versions distributed or used." Well, that's fine and dandy, but I could photoshop the current PNG to alter it. They can't prohibit the creation of SVGs though since the design is now stated to be in the public domain. I'm going to need some help to create an SVG to replace File:CapitolLoop.png because of the complexity of the detail in the Capitol Dome. any thoughts? Imzadi 1979 → 21:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Done as a Collaboration with the Graphics Lab. Imzadi 1979 → 16:00, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

More FM shields

I would like to request two more shields for Farm to Market Road 752 (File:Texas FM 752.svg) and Farm to Market Road 753 (File:Texas FM 753.svg) to be used in the article on FM 752, which was recently kept at Afd but still has no shield. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Done I assume you wanted FM 752 and just forgot to change the link? RM 1721 already exists. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 18:50, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Shields for 7 Puerto Rico roads

Hi, I need shields for these 7 Puerto Rico roads.

PR-139 (this is a secondary road intersecting primary PR-14, thus the "county-style" shield is needed)
PR-501 (this is a tertiary road intersecting secondary PR-123, thus the traditional black numbers on round or oval white background, on square black background, is needed)
PR-502 (this is a tertiary road intersecting secondary PR-132, thus the traditional black numbers on round or oval white background, on square black background, is needed)
PR-504 (this is a secondary road intersecting primary PR-10, thus the "county-style" shield is needed)
PR-511 (this is a secondary road intersecting primary PR-14, thus the "county-style" shield is needed)
PR-578 (this is a secondary road intersecting primary PR-1, thus the "county-style" shield is needed)
PR-591 (this is a tertiary road intersecting primary PR-2, thus the traditional black numbers on round or oval white background, on square black background, is needed)

Should any additional info be required, please let me know! Thanks. Mercy11 (talk) 15:50, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. Due to glitches at Commons, they may not appear, but I assure you they have been created. –Fredddie ™ 22:50, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Freddie, although they ARE showing up in the respective infoboxes (for example PR-511 and PR-139), they are still NOT showing up whenever the jct template is used. For example see the entries for PR-511 and PR-139 in the infobox at PR-14. Thanks. Mercy11 (talk) 06:04, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

It could be related to the problems Commons was having. The problems are occuring when thumbnails were made for large files, not unlike what {{Jct}} does. I'll try purging the files, perhaps that will help. –Fredddie ™ 22:00, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

New Louisiana shields

As seen in this picture, Louisiana has changed the color on their state route markers. Is it possible for the colors on our set of LA shields to be updated? Dough 48 72 18:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I have been wondering about this too. What should we do about it? And why on earth would Louisiana change to begin with? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 17:54, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

It is my understanding that the green ink used to produce the signs is expensive and fades faster than black ink. I also understand that unlike South Carolina or Oklahoma's recent design changes that Louisiana will replace the old green and whites with black and whites as the individual signs need replacement, to save money and because the basic design didn't change, just the colors. I don't see a rush to create a new full set of graphics, and we should probably wait until someone says that the black and white is more common than the green and white. P.S. My other half is from outside of Morgan City, LA, and his family still lives there. I'll have him periodically ask friends down there that if they start to notice that more of the new signs are in place over the old signs to let us know. Others can do the same, and then I'd say to switch the articles over. Imzadi 1979 → 18:40, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

If the green really does fade quickly, than there should be quick turnover to the black signs. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 19:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

It fade faster than black, not quickly. That means the life span is reduced, but not cut short. It could be years before they change over the state. Imzadi 1979 → 20:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Old New Jersey shields

I would like to request several historical shields for US and state routes in New Jersey to be used in articles of routes that were removed by 1953.

For the state routes, I would like to request the following to the same specifications as File:NJ X (cutout).svg: 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 54
For the U.S. routes, I would like to request the following to the same specifications as File:Old US Route template.svg: 1, 9, 9W, 9E, 22, 30, 40, 46, 122, 130, 202, 206, 322 Dough 48 72 01:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Not done and not likely to be done per G1. —Fredddie ™ 02:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you fill the first 10 at least and save the rest for later? Dough 48 72 02:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Typically, when users have a large request in mind, they pick the 10 most important ones in that group and request those. That's probably the best course of action here. – T M F 19:19, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

For now, I would only like to request the following shields to be used in the New Jersey Route 39 article:

State route cutouts: 29, 37, 38, 54
US route cutouts: 30, 130, 206 Dough 48 72 00:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Does it matter so much? Just leave it there and let the STF slowly cross them off the list. --P C B 03:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes it matters. We have guidelines. We have to abide by them.Mitch32^{(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.)} 10:53, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Be advised that both of those templates that were linked to are out of spec. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 22:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Partially done: the U.S. shields can be found here. I could not create the 9W or 9E shields without photographs, since I'm not sure how the suffixes were handled. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - If I can eventually find a photo for 9W, I'll request that one. Dough 48 72 03:48, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Here is a picture of an old US 9W shield from NY. In addition, this page shows a bunch of old Tennessee US highway shields that follow the same specifications as the US 9W shield from NY. Based on this, I assume that the NJ US 9E/US 9W shields should be modeled on the NY US 9W shield. Dough 48 72 00:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
  - Is it possible to get Highway Route Marker Bot to create all of the requested cutout state route markers? Dough 48 72 03:10, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Mass creation

Texas FM/RM

Any objection to letting the Highway Route Marker Bot make the rest of the FM/RM shields? –Fredddie ™ 22:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I think that would be great if it works well. Imzadi 1979 → 22:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I would be willing to give it a try with the Bot. What images are needed?--Svgalbertian (talk) 21:27, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Needed shields are at the state subproject's completion list. Fortguy (talk) 21:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Ugggh, what a horrible list, I would need to write a parser to figure out which files are still needed. So instead I decided write a paraser for TxDOT.

For the Ranch to Market Roads, only 3 files are needed File:Texas_RM_2224.svg, File:Texas_RM_2355.svg, and File:Texas_RM_2630.svg (current file uses wrong font). Cause of the low number, I will let humans handle those.
For Farm to Market we need 143 three digit signs and 1135 four digits signs, and one two digit sign. I will let a human handle File:Texas_FM_79.svg as it would use a different font size than the rest. The full list of signs needed can be found with the request: Commons:User:Highway Route Marker Bot/Requests#Farm to Market Road, three digit.

Some Farm to Market roads are missing from the completion list, when I get some free time I will try to add those in. Fredddie pointed out a font issue with my current bot, so I will need to do some additional testing before I run these.--Svgalbertian (talk) 07:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

In addition, there is Category:Jct template transclusions with missing shields, which lists shields that missing and throwing errors at {{Jct}}. –Fredddie ™ 21:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

All three digit signs have been created. Give them a look, and if there are no issues I will start on the 4 digit signs Thursday.--Svgalbertian (talk) 04:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Holy crap. Awesome. –Fredddie ™ 05:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Cutout New Jersey route markers

Is it possible for Highway Route Marker Bot to make the following NJ cutout state route markers, based on File:NJ X (cutout).svg and File:NJ 46 (cutout).svg: 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 54 Dough 48 72 19:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Done --Svgalbertian (talk) 00:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Dough 48 72 00:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I would also like to request File:NJ 151 (cutout).svg. Dough 48 72 18:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

That images does not use the standard template, someone needs to adjust the font size, so I will let a human handle it. --Svgalbertian (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Bay Parkway shield

I need Holderca1's help with this. There needs to be a Bay Parkway shield for that article, instead of the reference marker. The letters are BA. (This is per Steve Anderson's site.)HighwayMaster (talk) 21:22, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Do any shields exist for the parkway in reality? – T M F 19:21, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Not done and not likely to be done I just received word from a roadgeek that's very familiar with the area that there are none, thus there should not be a shield for it here. – T M F 23:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Texas sign correction/request

Hey all, Am requesting an addendum be made for a Business Route sign in Texas. Business 101-B file:Texas Business 101.svg is a sign without the sublettering showing which business route it is, in this case, 101-B. Would like to request a Bus 101 route with the B underneath, similar to others. This does follow MUTCD, but I have no physical proof that the sign looks like this in real life (Google shows the way with the separate BUS sign above the regular state highway shield). Thanks. 25or6to4 (talk) 22:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Done

Bus. SH 101 –Fredddie ™ 01:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Texas Bus. signs, part 2

Thanks for the above request. I would like to request the rest of the uncompleted business shields, using the automated bot, but i do not understand what it wants for the 2 svg images. Would it be suitable to post the reqeust there and only put one image from the current business images so they can get completed? 25or6to4 (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas State Highways/Completion list/Business Highways. Unfortunately the bot was only written to replace strings in one location, so each lettered route would have to be separate template. It also doesn't dynamically adjust font sizes, so 1-99 would be a different template than 100+. That means I would need 17 different templates to create 31 images. So at this point I am not interested, but that is not to say that I am not intrigued and I might re-write the bot in the future to accommodate this.--Svgalbertian (talk) 22:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound feasible at this juncture. No problem. We'll just need to build more business routes in Texas. Go ahead and mark this declined and archive for now. 25or6to4 (talk) 23:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

More Texas

User:25or6to4 said he knew of more FM/RM routes not on the completion list. I guess I beat him to it. I added RM 2462 to the list although it is a former rather than existing route.

Also, FM 390 has a spur that needs a shield for the article's junction list. Although FM spurs are not designated separately from their parent routes, they are shielded differently. They use shields identical to state spur shields rather than FM shields but using the same number of the parent. Fortguy (talk) 00:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Like this

FM Spur 390? –Fredddie ™ 02:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Full suite of 1961 USH markers

Are there any objections to placing a request with Highway Route Marker Bot (talk · contribs) to make a full suite of US Highway markers in the 1961 style? I have created a template based off of File:US shield evolution.svg for this purpose. –Fredddie ™ 04:56, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I would support this. Are you planning on just doing 1 through 99, or do you intend on doing 3-digit routes too (which would probably require a copy of Series A to be dug up)? I suppose these shields would be useful in those states that still use '61 spec shields, like Arkansas, Mississippi (?) and Iowa (??). —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:27, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

If we somehow find a Series A fontface, I'm still waiting on a 1961-style US 309 marker for the NY USH list. – T M F 06:47, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I was just planning on having it use Series B over 100, but Series A would probably be more period accurate. –Fredddie ™ 23:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I'll support this as well. Just skip US 102 in doing the 3dUSs. It was decommissioned in 1928. US 112 can be skipped as could US 131. (MSHD didn't use the 1961 specs and stuck with the 1948 specs until the early 1970s when they switched. US 131 didn't exist in IN during that time frame.) Imzadi 1979 → 23:49, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I suppose the $1,000,000 question is how do we get a copy of Series A? –Fredddie ™ 05:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

In running Highway Route Marker Bot (talk · contribs) I am not against using commercial fonts, I just want to make sure I am using them legally. I already paid $5.00 to use USHighwaysOldStyleBCBA. For this font $20.00 is not unreasonable and if someone gifts me the font I would use it.--Svgalbertian (talk) 19:18, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

My understanding of US copyright law is that the physical shapes of the letters in a typeface can't be copyright-protected. Font files for a computer are computer software, so they can carry a copyright. Having said that, and knowing that I'm not a laywer, once the letterforms are converted to a path, the job of the software is done, just as the job of a commercial image program is done once the image is created. I can't see that there would be any problem with using the series A typeface in this context. I can pitch in for the typeface. Anyone willing to chip in a few bucks as well?

Imzadi1979 you are correct only the font file is copyrighted, the typeface is not. As for sharing the font, according to the website it allows 1-5 users, so think we could share with anyone who puts in $5.00 or more.--Svgalbertian (talk) 05:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Having acquired the font, I made a request on Commons. I requested 1-999 just so we wouldn't have to go back and make some more later. If anyone feels that's too many, please go to Highway Route Marker Bot (talk · contribs)'s request page and correct it. –Fredddie ™ 14:55, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

New shields for I-95 in SC, VA, and other locations

Two state-specific I-95 articles have had new shields added to their exit lists which aren't showing up. They consist of;

Done Interstate 73(South Carolina) shield for Interstate 95 in South Carolina.
Virginia State Route 8900 (Stafford County) and Virginia State Route 3000 (Prince William County) for Interstate 95 in Virginia. The already exists, but it won't show up on the I-95 in Virginia page for some reason.

I'd like to see them added. ----DanTD (talk) 01:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Dan, don't use Iowa shields in VA. Seriously, someone didn't use the right shield for VA-3000, using the name for a non-existent shield for Iowa. (Iowa's shields are technically different than other circles.) Using the {{jct}} with the type "sec" for secondaries and county#=<county name> in VA makes things simpler. Imzadi 1979 → 01:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't put the Iowa shields in. I think it just turned up that way when the anonymous IP who added them worked on the templates. And believe it or not, those junction templates already has "sec" for secondaries and the county names. ----DanTD (talk) 02:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Done

I changed how {{Jct}} handles VA sec markers. Jct will now look for the file 'Circle sign #.svg' first before it will look for an 'Iowa #.svg' marker. That being said, you may see some wide elliptical markers where there should be a circle. I am working on a plan to correct this.

I am creating a set of wide markers in the naming scheme 'Ellipse sign #.svg' These will take the place of most files currently under the name 'Circle sign #.svg' I will then create a set of circular markers, now somewhat residing at 'Iowa #.svg'. Confused? Here's a table:

Image	Old name	New name

Question regarding use of US 1948 shields

So we're slowly building a selection of 1948-style US Highway shields. Since the MUTCD of the period said to post white square "oversize" markers at intersections, would it be a good idea to create a set of white square USHs for {{Jct}}? The cutout shields would still be used for infoboxes. I would send this request to HRMB. –Fredddie ™ 02:12, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Probably should for legibility reasons if nothing else. Note that the 1948 oversize markers are identical to the 1961 markers other than having a white square in back instead of white. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 10:20, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Nebraska Loop, Spur, and Recreation road shields

Is it possible to get Highway Route Marker Bot to make shields for the Loop, Spur, and Recreation roads in Nebraska. The list of routes needing shields for each is at List of Nebraska Connecting Link, Spur, and Recreation Highways and the shield templates are as follows: File:N LINK Blank.svg for the link routes, File:N SPUR Blank.svg for the spur routes, and File:NF Blank.svg for the recreation roads.

Hey. I thought I had requested this earlier, but can't find a listing, or a shield. The new toll section of TX 550 has recently opened, and I am requesting an updated sign for it. The shield is actually the inverse of the TX toll sign colors: white lettering on blue background. There's a picture of an example on the Texas State Highway 255 page. I can also confirm that the state toll signs that I have experienced (Loop 1, TX 45, TX 130, TX 255, TX 550). Loop 49, on the other hand, uses the proper blue text on white background.

I know its Canada but...

Any one care to create a template for the bot to whip up some PEI route markers? suffixed route, non suffixed, more --Admrboltz (talk) 00:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Part of the problem with Canadian route markers is that they can still carry crown copyright. But after looking at the current shield, if you ask 10 people to draw a bushy tree most would draw something extremely similar, so I am willing to go out on a limb and say the design falls below the threshold of originality. You can find a vector version of the sign on page 73 of the Drivers's Handbook that could be extracted (the black border should be green, but the rest looks right). My next project is is Saskatchewan (see dicussion), but once that is done I can take on PEI.--Svgalbertian (talk) 21:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I am working with the Communications coordinator to see if its covered or not. Apparently the stupid trees are part of the PEI word mark. A SVG template for the three NB versions would be nice, as the ones we have are png. --Admrboltz (talk) 21:55, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

The trees in the wordmark are far more detailed than the ones in the road signs. I am willing to go ahead and tag it {{pd-ineligible}}, but if you do get premission be sure to log it with ORTS. As for NB, I won't take them at this time, but might in the future.--Svgalbertian (talk) 22:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thats what I was thinking too, but the sign shop people said it would be under Wordmark and Coat of Arms protection, and have sent me up the ladder. And OK, the NB ones should be good, they are just a shape and font. --Admrboltz (talk) 22:32, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

The basic design of the trees comes from the coat of arms, and since those were granted in in 1905 they are no longer covered by any copyright. Additionally, while the coat of arms have may have additional protection from the Coat of Arms Act, Wikimedia Commons is only concerned with copyright. But to be safe they can also be tagged {{insignia}} to warn of other protections. At this point I am still willing to go ahead at make these signs.--Svgalbertian (talk) 23:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Sweet :) once the template is created, I will fill in the HWMB request. --Admrboltz (talk) 23:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Great. I can't wait to see all the Canadian Route Shields here. I've made my share of route dab pages, and too many Canadian ones don't have shields. It's sad. ----DanTD (talk) 03:48, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Here you go. Sorry for the delay, I was away from my computer on the holidays. The trees in the drivers handbook were different than seen on the sign, so I had to draw them by hand based on signs on Flickr. I might still tweek it in the next couple days, so feel free to let me know your thoughts. Don't worry about the HWMB request as that is my bot, and as soon as I finish making the actual template I will create the signs. Cheers. --Svgalbertian (talk) 00:11, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Can I also have two more for List of New York State Bicycle Routes, 9 and 17? Dough 48 72 17:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

While we're at it, I'd like to add a request a New York Bicycle Route 25. ----DanTD (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

And as I posted here, that list is missing about a dozen routes. – T M F 17:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't see that. I apologize. ----DanTD (talk) 18:02, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, why are we using markers named "DE Bike foo" for other states? Clearly that's a naming convention problem. – T M F 17:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Two other concerns: File:US Bike 13 Alternate.svg and File:DE Bike 1.svg are using identical styles (which will eventually lead to two redundant sets of markers over two NCs), and both are using a stretched-out version of the bicycle icon. Compare the bike on those to the bike on File:US Bike blank.svg. – T M F 17:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I think you just answered your own question; Some bike route shields from other states and those in Delaware are identical to each other. ----DanTD (talk) 18:02, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

If so, then DE should be using a national set. Having two sets of identical shields is silly. – T M F 18:04, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

And a further comment to underscore why we shouldn't be using DE Bike foo as the naming convention: that design is a national design; specifically MUTCD sign M1-8. – T M F 18:04, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a rename request, and have the HWMB create say 1-99 of the M1-8 signs? --Admr Boltz 18:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. The bike needs to be fixed before the marker is sent to HRMB, though. – T M F 18:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree we need a national set of shields based off File:US Bike 13 Alternate.svg along with a template for HRMB to make them. Dough 48 72 20:05, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Since no one else has suggested new names for the markers, I'll present a proposal: rename the M1-8-style markers (like File:DE Bike 1.svg) to "US Bike # M1-8.svg" and the black-on-white (MUTCD M1-9, like File:US Bike blank.svg) to "US Bike # M1-9.svg". – T M F 21:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

As a disclaimer, the M1-8 shields are technically not for U.S. numbered bike routes, they are meant to be used for generic numbered bike routes. So, "US Bike x" is probably fine for the M1-9 U.S. numbered bike routes whereas something like "Bike x M1-8" could be used for the M1-8 generic bike routes. Dough 48 72 22:31, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I see your point, but that name seems a bit ambiguous to me. – T M F 22:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

How about Oval Bike Route x.svg and US Bike Route x.svg? --Admr Boltz 23:14, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

That really doesn't do anything to resolve my ambiguity concern re the M1-8 signs. – T M F 23:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I like your original idea, but the "M1-8" and "M1-9" sections should be in parentheses. ----DanTD (talk) 23:22, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. –Fredddie ™ 23:29, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

If that's what most people want, I'm OK with that. Personally, I'm indifferent as to whether or not parentheses are used. – T M F 23:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

For reference, the MUTCD refers to the white and green oval marker as "the Bicycle Route (M1-8) sign" whereas the white and black acorn-looking marker is referred to as "The U.S. Bicycle Route (M1-9) sign". Perhaps a naming convention such as "bike route xx US.svg" and "U.S. Bicycle Route xx.svg", respectively, would be slightly more clear? The layman editor won't make any distinction based on MUTCD sign codes. -- LJ ↗ 08:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Another comment: The U.S. Bicycle Route sign is fairly new, and is a program where route numbers are approved by AASHTO similar to the U.S numbered highways. To the best of my knowledge, there are few (if any) bicycle routes that have been officially approved such that many of these images would need creation at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ljthefro (talk • contribs)

Now that I could get behind. My biggest problem with the conventions proposed above was that they didn't clarify what country the M1-8 signs belonged to. I'd probably drop the dots in U.S. in the second NC though since we don't use them in any of the other marker NCs. – T M F 17:53, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Renames have been requested to US Bike NN (M1-8).svg and US Bike NN (M1-9).svg. --Admr Boltz 00:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

That is the M1-8 style, Dan. Imzadi 1979 → 07:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Dan, I was copy and pasting. --Admr Boltz 15:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

The shields have now been renamed. The next step is to now set up a template for HRMB to make the M1-8 shields. Dough 48 72 17:24, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Wait, so the naming convention is the same for both except for using the sign designator codes? What happened to using "US Bicycle Route XX" (full with capitalization) as a convention for the designated U.S. bicycle routes? This would help with ambiguity between the two, as the layman won't know the difference based on sign codes. -- LJ ↗ 19:49, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Someone still needs to redraw the M1-8 shields using a non-stretched bike icon first. – T M F 21:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Since no one else has done so, I've made the template (and fixed the bike icon) myself. See US Bike template (M1-8).svg. – T M F 00:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

There's a way to do it so it's not a lot of work, but I have yet to find it. If you have a cutout shape that you'd like me to use, please share it! –Fredddie ™ 01:50, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Does the cutout need to be svg format?? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 02:10, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Not necessarily because shapes can be traced. However, to make the final product look good, the image should be fairly large. Making a large image smaller looks better than making a small image larger. –Fredddie ™ 11:58, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

This or this is the best I cound find for the "STATE ROAD" shields. For the later "ARKANSAS" ones, this if the overlap can be removed or this one if not are the best I can find. Is that appropriate size? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 19:40, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Any of those should work, thanks. –Fredddie ™ 21:50, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Texas FM business route

Shields are needed for Business Farm to Market Road 1431-J. This road is less than a year old and is one of only three such roads in the state. Kinu discovered it while destubbing the parent route. It needs lettered shields for the infobox such as:

The parent route's junction table also calls up more generic, unlettered shields such as:

Note that the road is designated as a Business FM Road even though the parent route is an RM Road. Fortguy (talk) 20:03, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Ohio State Route shields

A Shield is needed for Ohio State route 4s. This road does not have a shield, page or section of a page about it. Route11 (talk) 00:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

There is probably a good reason why it's not there, so here are a few questions for you. Where is/was 4S? What time period? Cutout or square? Block or rounded font? Can you prove it is/was there? –Fredddie ™ 03:05, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Ohio State Route 4s is located in Dayton, Ohio. I do not know when it was put in but, it still exist today. The shield should be square and have rounded font. The only prove I have of it existing is this list of SR 4s junctions from ODOT (Ohio Department of Transportation):[10]. My link will not work to the PDF so click on the link, Click select route by number, Click 002-039, then find 0004S and click on MOT for proof.

Not done I am going to pass. Checking Street View, it's clear that SR 4S is signed simply as SR 4. However, SR 4B, in Butler County, is signed as SR 4 Bypass, so it simply needs a banner. –Fredddie ™ 20:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Is there any chance of making a SR 4B shield? Route11 (talk) 21:06, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

No. If you read what I typed, all we need is a bypass banner. We have templates and infoboxes which handle this for us. –Fredddie ™ 02:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

1926 U.S. shields for Minnesota

File:US 10N (MN).svg and File:US 10S (MN).svg need to be replaced with the 1926-style shield. Both of these routes were removed in 1934, so the existing images are incorrect.

I would also like to request an example of a 1926 U.S. shield for Minnesota for the bot to use as a sample to create the state's full set. I'm not familiar with that process or what it entails though. --Sable232 (talk) 20:52, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

The current scheme of things isn't to replace shields made in the current, 1971 specs directly with previous versions. We have started to set up types of US 1926, US 1948 and US 1961 in both the infobox and {{jct}}. Combine that with the creation of older spec state markers, and an article can have the right vintage markers for the end year of an old highway. (As an example, look at U.S. Route 112. Even the Michigan state trunklines have cutout versions of the diamonds. Imzadi 1979 → 23:43, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I know, but considering that these existing ones aren't used and never will be since AASHTO doesn't do letter suffixes anymore, I figured it'd be more prudent to just overwrite them. --Sable232 (talk) 00:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I know what you mean. US 102 hasn't existed since 1928, yet we have 1961 and 1971 spec versions of it. I think the full sets are being made more for consistency (everything is there in case we want it later). Imzadi 1979 → 01:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you want the suffix to be off-center like this photograph of a 10N shield shows, or were you wanting something more conventional? —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 08:33, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

If possible, yes, I think it should be as the actual shield is. Besides, 10S would probably look too much like like 105 if the letter was the same size. --Sable232 (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's not the size I'm asking about so much as the off-centered-ness. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 15:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, keep it off-center if it's feasible. --Sable232 (talk) 03:23, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I would still like these... I'm going to start working on a 1920s route list soon and I expect to need them. --Sable232 (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

More shields are needed for the List of county roads in Polk County, Florida, two of which would also turn up on U.S. Route 17 in Florida if they're added(Thanks for settling the issues of the description in Eagle Lake, Florida, Freddie).

Two Lake County, Florida road sheilds

I'm still having trouble with the Highway Route Marker Bot, so for now I'll request two county road shields in Florida;

Lake County Road 46: For List of county roads in Lake County, Florida, Florida State Road 46, Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida State Roads/Completion list/County, and an intersection list for a future article on U.S. Route 441 in Florida.
Old Lake County Road 50(See here) for List of county roads in Lake County, Florida, Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida State Roads/Completion list/County, and a small infobox on a chapter of Florida State Road 50.

For those County Road lists, I'll try to find a way to deal with them on the bot, but I have no idea how I'm going to work around the formatting. ----DanTD (talk) 14:57, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE - I found a substitute for Lake County Road 46 a while back, and just made a cheap *png version of the Old Lake County Road 50 shield today. Since I can't make svg files to save my life, I'm still hoping for a replacement. ----DanTD (talk) 17:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you want the CR 50 sign as it appears in the image or as it should appear according to the MUTCD? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 17:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I think I'll take it according to MUTCD, unless I can't add the "Old" banner to the List of Lake County Roads. Either way, I'd like to get this done before the blackout. ----DanTD (talk) 17:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

1926 shields for US 66

I'd like to request shields like the one in Commons for Arizona (sorry, I tried linking it, but I'm not sure how to shrink it. It's at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_66_Arizona_1926.svg), but for the other seven states (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and California). Also, where can I get the 1926 fonts? PaulGS (talk) 19:41, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

You link it this way: [[:File:US 66 Arizona 1926.svg]] (File:US 66 Arizona 1926.svg). Making the 1926 versions are not easy, but I'll see what I can do. Also, there is no "1926 font" as far as fonts are concerned. I have cobbled together something that is useable, but it's hardly convenient. –Fredddie ™ 23:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

These were the easy ones. –Fredddie ™ 02:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure what to do about California since the period signage usually contained an Automobile Club of Southern California logo. Should it be included? Reduced to a symbolic rendering, like just a blue ring? Ignored? —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 14:30, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Since we'd need a FUR every time we used a California shield, I would forget it. Maybe include a note in the image description that it should be there but it's a non-free image. –Fredddie ™ 17:39, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

What about the thought of rendering where the logo is supposed to be as a blue ring (no AUTO. CLUB SO. CAL., no pine tree)? Or would we prefer to just leave it off entirely? —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I guess we could do that, but it should be a black ring and a bell. My personal first choice would be to leave it off entirely, though. –Fredddie ™ 18:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Done

—Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 04:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for these. Are we sure we can't use the logo, though? Anything created before 1923 is public domain, so the older logo may be old enough to be usable. PaulGS (talk) 20:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

We could, but without knowing the exact date the logo was created, it's not a good idea. –Fredddie ™ 22:35, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Texas State Highway Spur 1966

Interstate shields

At Commons:Category:Interstate_Highway_shields_with_name_of_state, I-55, I-94, and I-290 are missing for Illinois; I'd like to request these.

I'd also like to request some historical shields for use at Interstate#Interstate_shield. The article mentions four revisions to the design - 1957, 1861, 1971, and 1978 - I'd like to add a diagram of each to show the changes (if the 1978 design is still used, obviously, we have that). PaulGS (talk) 22:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Were you thinking something along the lines of Media:US shield evolution.svg? I think that would be useful in the article. Also, I fixed the interwiki link to Commons. –Fredddie ™ 04:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, although I was thinking individual shields so they'd be available elsewhere, too, if ever needed (or as templates for others). But combining them also works, and that wouldn't be hard to put together. PaulGS (talk) 01:26, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

The others will have to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure we have everything we need. It's just not nearly as obvious as it is with the USH shields. The MUTCDs themselves are a bit foggy as the depictions from 1971 edition look just like the 1961 edition. But there is a standard drawing from the 1979 edition; I have not ever seen a standard drawing from the 1957, 1961, or 1971 edition. –Fredddie ™ 02:59, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

These are both made. I am new to this project, so I do not know why they were not done before; they are both incredibly simple, they only took 5 minutes each to make.

OK, these are done. I also included the Seaway Trail, which is mentioned in the GLCT article in lieu of a tour around Lake Ontario. I do not have a Commons account, so what should be done with them. (I need some guidance in getting a Commons account.) → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 08:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Unified login should have some links to help you set up a Single, Unified Login (SUL) which would "port" your user name and password to other project pages. It will then also link your accounts on each server together, so that if you login on enwp, it will also log you in on Commons, etc. That's the best place I can think to start on your account issue.

If you're up for it, the Michigan Heritage Route markers are in GIF format here at the moment. There are three of them, but fortunately, the only difference between them is a colored bar with a word on the bottom. They are:

If those can be converted at some point, then Michigan's tourist routes will be covered. Thanks for your hard work so far! Imzadi 1979 → 15:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I would like someone to check the copyright notifications and modify them if needed, please. I don't want them deleted because I screwed up that information. Thank you.

I will see what I can do with the Michigan Heritage signs in a day or so. They all have the same image, making it easier. Anyone know what font that is? → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 19:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

It is now uploaded to Commons as File:Pennsylvania_Turnpike_logo_white.svg. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 22:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the shield. It may help to include a thin black border around the shield when it is viewed alone to increase visibility. Dough 48 72 01:32, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Typically, we add a 1px solid black stroke to images with a white border. –Fredddie ™ 02:33, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Looks good. Dough 48 72 02:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I like that userbox. You should make it available (with variable exit number) to the general Wikipedia population. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 07:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

The userbox is available at User:Mr. Matté/Userboxes/Exit number 2. I posted it and its counterpart at WP:UBX/LOCATION to make it more visible to users. Dough 48 72 18:59, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Georgia State Route 82 Connector

Can a shield for Georgia State Route 82 Connector be made? 01:55, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

This is done. The lack of this shield flagged two categories, Category:Jct template transclusions with missing shields and Category:Infobox road transclusions without route marker. There's no real need to make a request when these categories are flagged. –Fredddie ™ 02:36, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I apologize. I didn't know that this was unneeded. Thank you for bearing with me through my growth as an editor. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 19:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
