Since its adoption, the Transport font has been called the handwriting of Britain. It has been adopted or adapted for Spanish, Icelandic, Portuguese (who also use the Motorway font) and Italian road signs, and from the Worboys report, everything from colour coding and design rules to exact pictogram designs have been borrowed and put into use somewhere else. The result of many years of experimentation and careful planning and design is a system of signposting that remains essentially the same forty years later, and is still met with much acclaim.
