Request to change "colors" subtable
This module was the subject of a recent bugzilla defect.

A future change may cause invocations of this module to break. The line at issue is "p.colors = colors". As per comment #6

...the proper fix is to not place that "colors" subtable in the table of functions being returned to PHP for #invoke.

The recommended fixes are any one of the following:


 * separate the entire "colors" table into a different module


 * change p.colors to an accessor function
 * before

p.colors = colors
 * after: "p.colors = colors" removed; accessor added in its place

function p.colors(frame) return colors end


 * remove the "p.colors = colors" line. The module does not need it in order to work.

The accessor function seems like the best course of action. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Here is the snippet of code needed for Poland:

do -- Poland local POL = Country:new{default = "background:#006A4D; color:#fff;"} POL:addTypesAsColor({"A", "S"}, "background:#0079C1; color:#fff;") colors.POL = POL

Canada colours broke
I'm not good with Lua, and so I don't want to go making cascading changes without a clue. The header type argument doesn't seem to work in Canada anymore with the recent change to Lua. Articles such as Don Valley Parkway are reverting to the default colours (normally used only for county and city roads). A header type of "Freeway" and "freeway" should return the dark blue colour used by the 400-series highways, for our unnumbered municipal expressways - #003F87.

This is what tried adding, but it doesn't seem to have any effect: do -- Canada local CAN = Country:new{default = "background:#006A4D; color:white;"} CAN:addTypesAsColor({"Freeway", "freeway", "FWY", "Fwy", "fwy"}, "background:#003F87; color:white;") colors.CAN = CAN end -- Canada

--  Floydian  τ ¢ 17:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There were a few issues. First of all, the  method refers to highway types, not header types. And by adding that code, it disabled the already-existent submodule for Canada. Lastly and most importantly, the module was written to not calculate the country when a header_type value was present. That has been fixed so that only "built-in" header types cause this behavior. -happy5214 06:25, 14 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Awesome. Is there a page that lays out the heirarchy of all these modules? Can be difficult to find things going through layer upon layer of code. -  Floydian  τ ¢ 19:35, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The best option is probably Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Infobox road/color. The UK is the only other country with a separate submodule. -happy5214 20:16, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm working on Roads in Pakistan and there seems to be lack of detail for the Pakistan section. Only M (motorways) are noted, not N (national highways) or E (expressways). Also the colours are wrongly noted. Kindly please update the colours and headings for Pakistan section as follows:

- National Highways (N) uses colour = #06c - Motorways (M) uses colour = #22B14C - Expressways (E) uses colour = #F5C31D

The same colours are being used for our Roads in Pakistan template Template:Motorways of Pakistan

I am working on articles about expressways and highways in the Philippines, but there is no distinguishing header color for infoboxes if I add "E" (or "Expressway", for expressways), "N" (or "National Road" or "National Highway", for national roads), or "AH" (or "Asian Highway", for Asian Highway routes, with the only route in the Philippines is AH26 or Pan-Philippine Highway) in the  type parameter of infobox road, with PHL as country parameter. The header color by the type set will be:


 * E, Expressway: #fc3
 * N, National Road, National Highway: #3C9
 * AH, Asian Highway: #039.

The code is: do -- Philippines local PHL = Country:new{default = "background:#cedff2;"} PHL:addTypesAsColor({"E", "Expressway"}, "background:#FC3; color:black") PHL:addTypesAsColor({"N", "National Road", "National Highway"}, "background:#3C9; color:#fff;") PHL:addTypesAsColor({"AH", "Asian Highway"}, "background:#039; color:#fff;") colors.PHL= PHL end -- Philippines TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 06:50, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

I asked you a question the other day about this at Template talk:Infobox road, but you haven't answered. –Fredddie™ 13:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't noticed the question there, as I am busy editing articles about Philippine roads. But I left a reply there, that I will use green as default, and blue  for Asian Highway, over my previous proposal. I revised the code to be added (see below)

Can someone change the colours for Philippine road articles? Thanks! -- hueman1 (talk)  10:43, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

 * There was a thread right above this one and a message on my talk page regarding Philippine road articles. Which one is correct? –Fredddie™ 13:06, 23 August 2018 (UTC)


 * The one that was proposed by TagaSanPedroAko is likely the correct one. -- hueman1 (talk)  09:01, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Colours will be based on the route markers as seen below:
 * AH26 (N1) sign.svg Asian highway or Type "AH"
 * N2 (Philippines).svg National route or Type "N"
 * E3 (Philippines).svg Expressway route or Type "E"

-- hueman1 (talk)  10:02, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * We have tried, by and large, to make the infobox color the color of guide signs (example) rather than the colors of the shields themselves. –Fredddie™ 02:32, 25 August 2018 (UTC)


 * But these will only apply on the foreground colour right? -- hueman1 (talk)  03:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)


 * It would set the formatting to the infobox headers (location, major intersections, highway system, etc.) –Fredddie™ 03:21, 25 August 2018 (UTC)


 * It looks fine for me -- hueman1 (talk)  03:24, 25 August 2018 (UTC)


 * ? You still there? -- hueman1 (talk)  05:01, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

UC header color for non-orange countries
It's come to my attention that quite a few countries use black-on-yellow for road works signs instead of black-on-orange as we do in the U.S. It should stand to reason then that instead of orange, we should use black-on-yellow for UC and similar for these countries. –Fredddie™ 06:52, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Update the section for Spain to include more road types. The colours are not defined by law; however, the official legal text includes images from which the hexadecimal codes have been extracted (https://www.boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=BOE-A-2003-23514, search for "señales de identificación de carreteras).

The new section should look like this:

do -- Spain local ESP = Country:new{default = "background:#E8E8E8;"} ESP:addTypesAsColor({"E"}, "background:#37F623; color:#fff;") ESP:addTypesAsColor({"A", "AP", "R", "Autovia", "Autovía", "Autopista", "autovia", "autovía", "autopista"}, "background:#134BED; color:#fff;") ESP:addTypesAsColor({"N", "national", "nacional"}, "background:#F21F1E; color:#fff;") ESP:addTypesAsColor({"autonomica1", "autonómica1"}, "background:#F58E27; color:#000;") ESP:addTypesAsColor({"autonomica2", "autonómica2"}, "background:#5D3F0F; color:#fff;") ESP:addTypesAsColor({"autonomica3", "autonómica3"}, "background:#F5EA1A; color:#000;") colors.ESP = ESP end -- Spain Vishal dh (talk) 08:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I found a document a while back and I extracted these hex codes from it (I put the color codes you got after them for comparison):
 * Green –
 * Red –
 * Yellow –
 * Orange –
 * Blue –
 * In my experience, color codes for road signs are much darker than what they appear, so I'm inclined to think the ones I found are closer. Long story short, the code you wrote out is in place, but I used the color codes I had found previously. –Fredddie™ 13:53, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Costa Rica color codes request
Hi, I'm working to add Costa Rica's roads information to Wikipedia, I would like to add the proper color for the template, which are the same as the USA (and several other countries it seems...), but right now I would only need the main green color. We do have tourist roads with the brown color, but I will need to research a bit more about that, its been years since I saw one of those signs in the streets. Probably deprecated by the government. I think the single color country code would like this:

do -- Single-color countries ... colors.CRI = Country:new{default = "background:#006A4D; color:white;"} end -- Single-color countries
