BRITISH ROAD SIGN

In 1965, one of the most ambitious and effective signage systems was launched in Britain. The new system, relating to Continental protocol, included a set of pictograms and a new letterform named Transport, designed by Jock Kinnear and Margaret Calvert. Despite minor modifications, the system remains in place today.
