Default Any resident member have expertise with actual official road signs?
I'm looking to maybe buy a custom made county road marker sign for the west central part of Indiana.

Any typical size and/or color specs you know of?

I looked around a bit and came up with ****all for official specs, but I found a seemingly good site for a sign:

It doesn't have a white outline or rounded corners. It's also a cross street so it's two signs perpendicular to each other.

What I’m looking for is a sign stating the name of a county road out in the boondocks.

Don't you have some green and white paint and some wood? I'd make one myself. Pretty easy it seems.

Being a huge Rush fan (the band not the fat dude) growing up we had a road in Fayetteville, NC called Rush Road. That sign got "lost" from the corner a few times........

Unfortunately I’m way past tackling DIY projects like that these days.

I’m surprised it’s not riddled with bullet holes, road signs seem to be one of the most hunted items in Michigan.

They do have rounded corners. Didn't remember. Each one is 36 inches long.

I used to live on a street called Westchester but not Road, Street, Avenue, etc. Its official name was just Westchester.
