I haven't really looked around much yet, but here's one of a freeway sign:

This is good timing... I've been working on a few ideas for a signage scheme based heavily on SA standards.., this will help a lot!

Hi Trent,
Damn I really do like those mock ups. Really clean and clear. I wouldn't be complaining too much if they were used on Australian Roads. But I am sure QMR and the RTA will find a way to screw them up :)

I kinda like the rural signage, e.g.

I don't know anything about South African route numbering but I'm enjoying having a look through random rural towns. The N1 reminds me of Tasmania's Midland Highway.

N = National road
M = Metropolitan road
R = Regional road
There are also T and S roads, most likely tourist/scenic routes.

Some very very nice finds. One thing that strikes me about ZA towns, there doesn't seem to be too many that are overly attractive.

Me too :)
Although I'd use Aus shape speed limit signs. And of course I'd still want MR/NR/NH shields where relevant ;)
But the designs are really well done - I like very much.

Thank you so much for letting us know Winston -- I've been waiting for
ZA Street View for a kak long time!
Wow ... the countryside .... it's like Australia's evil identical
twin. The same bright, boundless porcelain-blue skies, the same lonely
plains with worn, ancient-looking mountains in the distance, the same
wide-streeted little towns that look like they took a whole bottle of
Valium back in 1957 and are still yet to wake up.
The cities are very "Australian" too ... high-rise city centres,
sprawling low-density suburbs, electric suburban railway networks.
Like Australia, the cities don't have metro-wide road grids like you
find in the US and Canada.
Still, even though I'm interested in roads, I'm also interested in
urban design and social conditions. Which is the real reason why I
couldn't wait to see ZA in Street View. Soweto is certainly an eye-
opener - not as bad as I thought it would be, but I've seen worse in
my own country. I certainly didn't expect to find Mercedes parked in
front of Soweto houses either. Still, kerbing & guttering, street
lighting, street signage are very deficient, and there are unofficial
rubbish tips here and there.
The middle-class suburban areas .... if you squint, you can pretend
it's Baulkham Hills or Bulleen, but for the armed response company
signs on many of the houses. In the Cape Town suburb of Durbanville,
street names are painted onto the kerb, not placed on signs. I wonder
if that would be cheaper and more durable than signage?
Trent - the font used on South African road signs and in your mock-
ups .... is that based on DIN 1451 (the German standard)? ZA used to
use FHWA, but that changed to the current font a few years ago. And
what does the disc within a concentric circle mean?
And I've just found a reassurance stand-alone shield for a Jo'burg M-
route ...

Hi Brad
Yes, the font is DIN 1451 "Mittelschrift". The 'target' symbol denotes a business district. So in the interchange sequence sign below, all three exits serve Springwood but exit 82/Fitzgerald Ave is the best exit for the CBD.

Has anyone found any FHWA signs yet apart from the black sign in
Molteno Sam found earlier? The only FHWA I've found is an M-route
reassurance marker in Hillbrow, in inner-city Jo'burg. I still haven't
found anything like this, however:

M2/M9 interchange in inner city Joburg. Note the street name (Rissikstr = Rissikstraat = Rissik St) is in Afrikaans, most signs I've seen are in English or use pictograms so they are language-neutral.

Looks to me like FHWA Series EM. Interesting how they have two
different coloured sets of chervons (i.e. yellow & black and white
and red).

Here's a good one at Sandton, featuring FHWA fonts. Strange thing is heading south the focals are in Afrikaans, heading north they are in English!
M1 South

M1 North

It would appear the fonts weren't the only thing they changed recently. The sign layouts on older signs are more American too, with downward pointing arrows... newer gantry signs are diagrammatic:

I've seen quite a few Afrikaans-only signs around Cape Town, but
that's to be expected - the Western Cape is majority Afrikaans-
speaking.
And in Cape Town CBD, I've found this little bilingual gem:

I wonder what a speed limit sign with red outline and blue fill means...

An error? Unless it means you must drive at exactly 100?

Why start a new thread when we already have one?

Go ahead, try bumping old threads on online forums and see how far you get with the mods.

On whingepool you get a kick up the arse for making duplicate threads, it makes searching and archiving a hell of a lot easier if its in the one thread.

Another interesting one - rectangular sign but the border of a chevron. Old font?

I don't see what's the harm in reviving old threads though. Having an example of AS1744/Highway Gothic fonts is really rare in South Africa, and none look so similar to ours
