(...) Maybe since there are already at least 2 non-road-sign variants of these new road sign elements, maybe they would go in some category similar to the 2x2 and 4x4 clip-on flags, which come decorated as Jolly Roger flags (URL) as checkered flags (...) (26 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Don't forget the new Space Port panels. Basically, they're (badly designed) long flags. Steve -- My system has antennae, flags, and roadsigns all under one category. But maybe I'm just weird. (26 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I could see 'Clip-On' for 'things with clips' (rather than parts that are primarily clips). But it makes more sense to put flags and roadsigns together in a category. I just have no idea what one-word description would be fitting. Steve (26 years ago, 31-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
