personally i think the WSDOT sign shop should let me make a few signs, and/or someone should ban me from looking at the MUTCD

fun fact this would be 22 feet wide and 10.5 feet tall. freeway signs are fucking huge

the actual R1-9(a) as of the 11th edition of the MUTCD (chapter 2B, page 82) has the smaller text at bottom; the spacing is also a little bit expanded, although not nearly as much as i did in the sign above lol.

various different signs have adjusted spacing as necessary, most commonly for space reasons on the diamond warning signs. i also think the particular font i have (https://github.com/sammdot/roadgeek-fonts) is not 100% accurate to the spacing specified in Standard Highway Signs and adding spacing is definitely not proportional to that

one time while driving in kansas i saw a work truck carrying like 1/8th of an overhead sign and it gave me a renewed appreciation for how much engineering has to go into mounting those things so that they don't kill people
