Does anyone have this font? It's used in DOT traffic signage. If you have it, could you send it to me or tell me where to find it?
Thanks

It looks like Highway Gothic will be replaced by a font family called 'clearview'

http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/res-ia_clearview_font.htm
The following have already adopted Clearview:

Texas (statewide), Pennsylvania, British Columbia
Toronto (older version), Yukon, other Canadian municipalities


This is an interesting manual for highway standards, the pdf can be imported into corel or illustrator
