File:M 554 Road Sign.png

[edit]

Duplicates File:M-554 blade.svg which was produced based on the standards from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The sign is also incorrect in that it omits the hyphen in "M-554", which was present on the actual street signs erected by the City of Marquette Department of Public Works. (The hyphen might not be very visible in File:M-554.jpg, but it was present in the sign.) Imzadi 1979 → 04:32, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, IMHO, this file better simulates the road sign at File:M-554.jpg by not including the dash & using better color match. If someone feels the other file is better for their project, by all means use that one. This file offers a choice. I see no reason why anyone should be locked in to the manual specified above.

    • Wrong color, the SVG uses Pantone 342 (as used by the DPW), as specified by the MUTCD, and the correct FHWA typeface, per the MUTCD. I am the one who photographed the sign, and I will swear your choice of texts that the hyphen was present on the sign at the time of photography. The lighting at the time was poor, but the hyphen was present in the street sign. Unfortunately, we can't retake the photo because that sign was removed in November 2005. PS, the MUTCD is the manual for highway signage design in the US. Imzadi 1979 → 04:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've seen road signs in Michigan without the dash. Also, I used color matching software to the match the color in the image. Actual paints used when attempting to match a specified PMS don't always match the colors specified in a manual. I see that all the time. As I mentioned, this file offers a choice. Semper Fi!

  • Delete - is that the default font from Microsoft Office? No way that's accurate. --Rschen7754 05:08, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, you said you swear the dash in the M 554 sign is present, yet it looks like it's not present here as well? FieldMarine (talk) 14:05, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
