 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. Add it to the template where? Best way to make sure it's done as you expect is for you to sync and change the sandbox. Adding testcases that show the result is also a good idea. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 04:51, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The text should be added following "|PA 1948=PA- (1948).svg" to keep it with the other historical PA shields.  Dough 48  72  05:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ - simple and uncontroversial addition. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 05:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ordinarily, I'd agree with you, but when certain regular editors, like who edits a lot of American highway articles, make a simple request, it's just easier to accommodate the edit request than to turn him away with a "sandbox it first" mentality.  Imzadi 1979   →   08:04, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * {{done}}, but double check articles as necessary.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:20, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * What's the point of this? These are internal designations for PA 283, PA 380, and PA 99 (which conflict with Interstates). There's no such thing as and never has been any PA 300, PA 400, or PA 699, only SR 0300, SR 0400, and SR 0699. The only place these internal designations should be mentioned is in the articles on those routes, the main list, and maybe in the articles on the Interstates they conflict with. They don't belong in the browse any more than any other nonexistent routes. --NE2 01:31, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Yeah. Strangely enough, from 1948 until 1985, it seems Arizona went their own way with highway signs. Interstates being the exception. They kept using the 1926 specification shield until 1956.MatthewAnderson707 (talk) 03:16, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Please change this section:

|PA={{#switch:{{{route}}} |300|400|699=none |#default=PA-{{{route}}}.svg

to add 299 to the list:

|299|300|400|699=none

There is no longer a route named PA 299 and the keystone shield should not be rendered.

jleedev (talk) 23:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * {{ping| jleedev}} according to Pennsylvania Route 299, it still exists. Even if it were decommissioned today though, it would still have its marker graphic appear in the appropriately used places, so I'm denying this request pending further explanation of why it should be made.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I'll try to manipulate the infobox usage make it clear that the sign is historical, not current. jleedev (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * {{ping| jleedev}} If that highway has been decommissioned, add the date for such a change to the infobox on Pennsylvania Route 299 and the headers will change from green to gray. That's the only change that's necessary. Of course the text in the article would need to also be updated as it says that the highway still exists.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:48, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Requesting that |FL=Florida's Turnpike shield.png be replaced with |FL=Florida's Turnpike.svg Thanks in advance. Arlo James Barnes 02:20, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Turnpike={{#switch:{{{state}}}
 * Turnpike={{#switch:{{{state}}}
 * {{ping|Arlo Barnes}} The new file does not look like the old one, so I'm going to reject this request at the moment and ask for clarification that the signs match the SVG version and not the PNG version.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:35, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought that photos of signs in use might help, but there seems to be annoying variability -- not only in whether the Turnpike itself is depicted upon the peninsula, but whether the keys are shown. http://www.floridasturnpike.com/sunpassages/15.summer/95-express.html shows keys and Turnpike. http://floridasturnpike.com/sunpassages/16.fall/Okahumpka-Service-Plaza-Landscaping.html shows neither. file:FL_Turnpike_Okahumpka_area01.jpg shows turnpike but not keys. I think file:Florida_44_@_I-75_Eastbound.JPG is a neither; file:Wildwood turnpike sign01.jpg is clearly Turnpike-only, file:EB_FL_50_@_Florida's_Turnpike_Interchange;_June_18,_2011.jpg too. Of course, some of these are quite old. The only reason I can think why the road's official site would vary from the signs is that, while it used to be that the road 'logo' was the signs, it might have diverged. {{ping|Imzadi1979}} This might be a case of the problems resulting from what they call in the OpenStreetMap world 'armchair mapping'; perhaps a Wikimedian living nearer the Turnpike had better verify on the ground the current state of affairs. Or maybe FDOT could be contacted. When the truth is found, I would be happy to update the SVG to match, and export to PNG to get concord on that file too. Arlo James Barnes 03:07, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I went and found the sign plans and drew up something to spec. –Fredddie™ 14:23, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

To match jct and other states, Oregon and Washington should use the conventional Interstate shield rather than the "big" variant, as specified below: |MT|OR|UT|WA=I- (big).svg

There doesn't seem to any precedent from WSDOT and ODOT about using the standard or big variant, as both are widespread, but most publications seem to use a standard shield.  Sounder Bruce  05:36, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅ I understood the request just fine, though maybe it's because I'm a member of WP:USRD. The request was to remove OR and WA from this switch case. (The conventional shield is the  case in this switch block.) -happy5214 12:19, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I assume the goal here is to make the shields true to what's actually being posted in the field. New interstate shields posted in Utah since around 2014 or so have all included the state name, and are the "normal size". --Roadguy2 (talk) 21:09, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Iowa shields
Since images specifically exist for Iowa highway shields, can they be used instead of the standard elongate circle shields within this template? An Errant Knight (talk) 02:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Iowa has been moving away from purely circular shields the last few years, so it's not really worth it any more. I created quite a few of those files or updated them to look the way they do now and I don't even use them any more.  I stopped using them because the differences between them and the circle signs are so insignificant that only a pedant would care, and I no longer do. –Fredddie™ 03:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Can this line of code be added right below the 1966 version?

I've done some research indicating the changeover to the first beehive shield may have been made in 1962. However, 1966 should probably be kept to avoid breaking any current transclusions. Highway 89 (talk) 17:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I added the TX period types, but without the extra switches. Just call them directly with TX 1917 and TX 1935.
 * I am loath to add the Arizona colored types here simply because both colors should show up. That might be a case where adding those types to Template:Infobox road/shieldmain/USA would be better.
 * The US-Hist type is tricky because no other subtype is listed in this way. The logic for Template:Infobox road is not the same as it is for Template:Jct.

how is this? –Fredddie™ 03:14, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Hutchinson Pkwy shield fix
