HOME UK Road Traffic Signs

Description

Various UK road traffic signs. These can be useful as symbols in documents, since they are instantly recognized by much of the general public,

Source

Most text and geometric shapes (eg triangles, squares, circles, etc) were produced from PostScript programs rendered using GhostScript. Any remaining graphics (eg road works, falling rocks) were scanned from pages 58 to 62 of the 1993 edition of The Highway Code (HMSO publication, ISBN 0-11-550962-3), and pasted in.

Each sign is given an mnemonic code of one, two or three characters, and is available in each of three different forms (normal, white border, transparent background) and two different sizes (35 and 100 pixels high).

File names for these images are composed from the letters "ts" (for traffic sign), followed by the signs mnemonic code, followed by a hyphen, followed by a "w" for white bordered images or a "t" for transparent background images, followed by the height of the image in pixels.

The edges of the opaque regions in the transparent background images have been anti-aliased with a 75% grey background, leaving a fringe of this colour which blends smoothly with the default document backgrounds of the X and MS Windows versions of Mosaic. This fringe may become visible when viewed against any other backgrounds, especially darker or brightly coloured ones.
