Roadcraft: American Road Signs

Adds 73 placeable American road-sign choices, including speed limits, regulatory and warning signs, Interstate and U.S. Route markers, city-limit signs, exit signs, mile markers and work-zone signs. Signs snap to existing roads and are removed when their supporting road is demolished. Roadcraft: American Road Signs works independently of the other Roadcraft mods.

These signs are cosmetic: they do not change vehicle speeds, right of way or traffic behaviour.

Change notes — Version 1.1

This version identifies the release; the Mod Hub may display a different version number.

• Added bridge placement with the usual Configure and delete tools, including automatic removal when the supporting road segment is demolished.
• Improved reliability when editing several signs in succession and when switching or closing controller menus.
• Added direct curb-distance adjustment during controller placement through the game’s native prompts.
• Extended posts slightly farther into the ground or bridge deck while preserving sign height.

How to use

1. Open Road → Assets → Roadcraft: American Road Signs.
2. Choose a sign from the scrollable Settings panel and set Distance from curb in the toolbar: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 or 1 m.
3. Point at a road and move along the desired curb. Check the preview and click to place. Position and orientation follow the road.
4. Select a placed sign and open Configure to adjust curb distance. Route, exit, mile and city boards also offer the text or number settings described below.
5. Press Escape to leave placement, or select another asset.

Controller operation has been verified. Console support has not yet been tested. Follow the game’s native controller prompts for your device and bindings.

Customizable signs

Interstate, U.S. Route and generic state-route markers: choose a number from 1–999. Three-digit numbers use a wider board.

Exit signs: enter an exit number from 1–999, optionally followed by a single letter, such as 12A. The board adapts to the number and suffix.

Mile markers: choose 0–999. Digits are stacked vertically, with the layout adapting to their count.

City-limit signs: initially use the nearest in-game city. Configure a custom name and choose automatic population, a custom whole-number population, or no population line. Automatic counts follow the nearest city even when its displayed name is customized. Population updates are processed gradually. Unavailable population data is omitted.

Placement and limitations

ONE WAY signs align with traffic on one-way roads, parking signs face the curb, and WRONG WAY signs face against the normal roadside direction. STOP + ALL-WAY is available as a combined assembly. Signs can also be deleted using the normal in-game delete tool.

Signs can also be placed on bridges. Select them normally to edit their settings or use the regular delete tool to remove them. Signs are removed automatically when their supporting road segment is demolished. Tunnel placement is not supported yet.

Speed signs display mph but do not set functional road speed limits. Exit and mile numbers are manually chosen.

Planned Roadcraft integration

A major purpose of this sign collection is to provide American signage for upcoming updates to Roadcraft: Speed Limits and Roadcraft: Priority roundabouts, including mph settings and signage suited to American-themed maps. This integration is planned for future releases. More American sign types will also be added over time.

Savegame compatibility

The mod can be added to existing saves. Before disabling it, remove placed signs if you want to avoid missing-model placeholders (which can still be deleted once the mod is deactivated). Placeholder recovery after removing the mod has not been verified.

Feedback requested

I would appreciate feedback in the comments about unexpected behaviour, crashes, sign appearance and placement, and whether the mod can be operated on consoles using a controller. For problems, please describe the sign, road layout and what happened.
