I don't know why many people love the new big panels with upper case letters. I really prefer to lower case letters, such as the 80's version of Montreal's street panels (with its red logo on the left side). If it's only a question of driver's visibility, the 80's panels are visible and clear enough to me, plus, Montreal is "still using" this format for newer home projects that need road development. So I don't know what is the real idea behind those giant "Godzilla" big caps panels that looks more like a business advertisement than anything else. We should only replace those stupid 1950's rusted panels with those "80's" ones (on the pic below) which still look great I think.
