You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
I will start with an opening paragraph stating that typefaces used on traffic signs vary by location, but that are all chosen with readability at high speeds in mind, with some typefaces being designed specifically for the purpose of being used on traffic signs (Clearview Wiki link)

I will then discuss the design reasoning behind what makes these typefaces more readable (spacing standards, x height, halation).

There are too many differences between different countries to compare them all, but type on signs in the U.S. (Highway Gothic to Clearview) are a good example of a current debate and ongoing project to increase readability on signs that shows the design principles at work. I will include a summary of the origins of both Highway Gothic and Clearview, along with their design reasoning, then the transition from one to the other and why.
