The latter became the exclusive type for states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Texas, while municipalities in other states switched their street signs to the newer type face. Interim approval for the font was previously rescinded by an FHWA mandate in February 2016, but reinstated in March 2018.Read MoreColored Route MarkersFlorida was one of several states to use colored route markers to aid in motorist navigation.
