Never knew they were done freehand.

I think I saw something on the TV about this once. The tricky ones to do freehand were the cyclist, it was said. It was also said by one road painter that he could recognise who'd made markings locally by the "style" of the lettering! Very impressive none the less, although perhaps not quite conforming to TSRGD if one can identify the author/writer by nuances of the lettering.

I'm amazed that Joe Public even noticed.

Good find, ta!

I think I'd need a STECNIL to get everything right.

I couldn't do anything like that! I do hope they are not paid or classed as unskilled!
I'm not bothered about the old Romanians and Bulgarians but the Old Etonians scare me rigid.

It's the box junctions that I like the most. There are hippies down here who consider such things to be sacred geometry.
A wise man once told me that "it depends". I sometimes agree.
