Out-of-State Plates 2

I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana and so I am posting only pictures of auto registration plates that are from outside the state.

Here are two from Mexico:

Nuevo León,

 
and Tamaulipas.
 
 
Notice Mexico can fit nine digits of typical registration plate stamped typeface across their plates and still maintain legibility!

Got any ideas?

If you guys and gals have any ideas just send it in a suitable image format (jpeg, gif, png), with a suggested size about 3" by 3", and I will post it.

No hotlinks to RV Droz's site!

Email route marker ideas here.

Coming Soon...

I have a number of photos of out-of-state (to Louisiana) auto registration plates that I will be posting shortly. So please watch this space!

British Columbia Route Markers.

Just go back to the old style with the cut corner letters!

Typical route marker.
Old cut-corners style.

Crowsnest Highway - Route 3.
Old cut corners style.

British Columbia recently has switched over to Helvetica typeface. Not only is it ugly for a road sign, it is not, in my opinion, the most legible. Compared to cut-corners typeface, I think it is a step backwards to illegibility and bad aesthetics.

North Island Route, Route 19.
Ugly Helvetica typeface in cyan!

Yellowhead Highway Route 5 and
Crowsnest Highway Route 3 --
both in Helvetica!

Three route markers on an overhead directional sign.
The Clearview typeface actually looks good compared to Helvetica!
And the blue for the numbers and border need to be darker.
