An enamelled steel or aluminium nameplate. Font: Transport, the standard type design for road signs. The widely-spaced letters aid quick recognition and easy reading. Transport was designed by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert for the planned motorway network; the big blue and white signs were tested on the Preston Bypass, now part of the M6, and appeared on the first section of the M1 in 1959. Thereafter the font was adopted for signage on all UK roads and has been widely used in other countries.
