Road signs in Lilletland

Road signs in Lilletland are regulated by each state's government, but are generally standardised overall throughout the country. Lillian road signage practice closely follows the United States, despite the country's road codes being based on European ones, although some road signs are borrowed from Australian practice. The font used is Highway Gothic as used in the United States.

These road signs are governed by the Road Traffic Signs Manual. Traffic in Lilletland drives on the left as in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

## History

Lilletland was dominated by all-blue road signs (including warning, regulatory and direction signs) until 1948.

In 1948, a report by the Lillian Department of Highways recommended that the road signage system used in America be adopted throughout Lilletland, with minor changes to suit the country's road rules, which were based on European road codes. It was based on the 1948 American MUTCD, but with the addition of "priority road", "end of priority road", "give way" and "maximum width" signs.

In 1975, all road signage in Lilletland was transitioned to kilometres and metres in lieu of miles and yards, aligning with the country's transition to the metric system. Directional signage remained the same as America, but altered to read the distances given in 'decimal' kilometres instead of 'fractional' miles. Thus, 1/2 mile was replaced by 0.8 km, 1/4 mile was replaced by 0.4 km, 3/4 mile was replaced by 1.2 km, and 1 mile was replaced by 1.6 km.

The urban speed limits of 25 and 30 mph were replaced by 40 and 50 km/h respectively and the rural limits of 50 and 60 mph were replaced by 80 and 100 km/h respectively.

## Route markers

In 1938, Lilletland implemented the "M"/"A"/"B" route numbering system as used in the United Kingdom; its allocation is based on a hub-and-spoke system. Unlike the UK but like the US, Lilletland allows states to design their own highway shields: each state is free to choose a different marker and may replace alphanumeric markers, but there are some restrictions. Unlike in America, a circular highway shield design is not allowed in Lilletland, because motorists might mistake it for a speed limit sign.

The state of Mirabelle is the only state in Lilletland that does not use an alphanumeric system, favouring for a shielded system.
