You can request missing or custom shields below. Your request will then be handled by a participant of the shields subproject. Instructions and guidelines are provided below.

Instructions: If you are requesting missing or custom shields: Click on the plus sign atop the page next to the "edit this page" link. Fill in the fields as follows: Subject/headline: A description of your request; this is typically the name of the road(s) that you are requesting a shield for. Edit box: List the shields that you are requesting, with a wikilink to the main article for each shield, if possible (for example, a link to Interstate 10 would be provided when requesting Image:I-10.svg). Don't forget to sign at the end! Click "Save page". If you are requesting the repair of completed shields that are currently blank or broken in appearance: Read this section for instructions on how to correct this issue. If the instructions given there fail to resolve the issue, file a request in the normal manner.
Guidelines: Maximum of one request per day and 10 shields per request. This is to give the shield creators enough time to create the requested shields while working at their own pace and leisure. Do not request SVG images of fair use shields; it is against the Non-free content criteria (specifically criteria 3b) to do so. A PNG image will be produced instead. You can find templates for shields at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Shields/Templates - you can use these templates to make the desired shields yourself, potentially saving your time. Instructions are given on the page.

Your cooperation in following the above instructions is greatly appreciated.

Project members: To accept a request, please do so by typing '''Accepted''' in your response to the request.

Old Oklahoma turnpike shields

Requesting shields for all turnpikes listed on {{Oklahoma Turnpikes}}. Current shield is available, but is fair use; I'd like to see what's out there in terms of the older shields (had an OK outline) which would probably be PD due to simplicity. Not sure if the same design was used for all turnpikes or not. —Scott5114 ↗ 16:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Examples:

I've seen the Muskogee Tpk state-outline shield in the field last week, so perhaps this is indeed the best course of action. —Scott5114 ↗ 22:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

National Park Service Route 615 in Wallpack, NJ

This shows of a National Park Service Route 615, a continuation of County Route 615 in Sussex County, NJ. I could use a shield for the linked article, since I am expanding that.^Mitch32^contribs 21:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a start; since I'm not good with determining licensing, I don't know if this could be uploaded as a .svg. I have the .svg version if it is ok. Mr. Matté (talk) 03:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it is a National Park Road, then it is PD, all works of the US Govt are PD. --Holderca1^talk 14:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So then, here's the shield:

—Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 20:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A few more Florida County Road shields

I'm taking another break from my requests for New Mexico and Mississippi shields to do a few more requests for Florida County Road shields this time;

- County Road 143 (Hamilton County, Florida) for Florida State Road 6, Interstate 75 in Florida, and in the future for Florida State Road 143.
- County Road 884 (Lee County, Florida) for Florida State Road 884
- County Road 4009 (Volusia County, Florida) for the article itself.

I tried to wait, but I couldn't fight the urge to make the links. I really should do a few more county-specific lists of County Roads in Florida. ----DanTD (talk) 18:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania Quadrant Route shields

I need the following Pennsylvania quadrant route shields for Harrisburg area articles: . They should be created in a manner similar to Image:PA QR 3015.svg. Dough4872 (talk) 01:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted... Son asked me a week or so ago on IRC to make these, but my laziness has kept me from doing so. =) They'll be done by tomorrow. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 08:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Finally done --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 20:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dough4872 (talk) 00:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

South Carolina Road shields

I've been working on the list of SC number highways and have found several SC Highways without shields. Here is what I have so far; 65, 67, 97, 102, 103, 107, 109, 118, 125, 165. Here is an example of the kind I'm talking about, Many thanks, Rocketmaniac (talk) 02:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Accepted~~, now Complete Mr. Matté (talk) 02:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome!!! thanks. I might have some more in a few days. Later, Rocketmaniac (talk) 02:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have found some more that are missing when someone is able to get to it. Same series of shields. Numbers 1, 184, 185, 200, 247, 260, 303, 333, 421 and 512. Thanks, Rocketmaniac (talk) 13:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to accept, but I'll just try and go ahead and do all the missing shields from the List of SC Highways page. Mr. Matté (talk) 14:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And now they should be done. Mr. Matté (talk) 14:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. There might a couple more needed, but that is 99% of them. There are a couple of US highways listed in the SC section that might need a shield when I change them over to the state type. You've done great work. Rocketmaniac (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that SCDOT has introduced a new shield design that will be used for all new/replacement signage, as shown here. There was a SCDOT release about it, but I can't remember the location. In any event, I have an SVG template for the new signage ready to go, but I don't know if we want to give the new signage a new file name or overwrite the old signs. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 20:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I propose keeping the old style where it is and create new style shields at Image:South Carolina X.svg. --Holderca1^talk 21:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that name.--Ltljltlj (talk) 21:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it's been uploaded as Image:South Carolina X.svg. It probably needs more refinement, but it's a good start. Here's what's tripping me up: the SCDOT release says that the shade of blue on the signs is the same as the shade on their Interstate Highway shields; however, the blue used on the sample SC shield pic and on the real-life pics seem to be much lighter than the MUTCD standard blue. I don't know what to make of that unless (1) the sample SC pic is wrong and the picture colors are off or (2) SC uses a much lighter blue for Interstate Highway shields. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 00:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More NM shields

I hated to bring this up, but I'm requesting some more shields for New Mexico State Routes 250, 460, 501, 502, and 503. These are mostly for completion lists, although some are for the articles on roads that are covered by them. I've got to work on more states too. ----DanTD (talk) 21:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it's another accept for me! Mr. Matté (talk) 22:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And it's done. Mr. Matté (talk) 22:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any difference. Keep in mind, I'm not on the same PC that I was on before, so you can't say I didn't clean my cache this time. ----DanTD (talk) 19:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you try purging the page? (aka, putting "?action=purge" at the end of the page's URL) —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 20:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and it took me to "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name," and it never let me back. ----DanTD (talk) 23:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't working for me either. I went and purged the pages for NM 501 and 502, and [1]. They seem to be showing up now. 25or6to4 (talk) 01:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More South Carolina Road shields

Hello again, I've found a bunch more shields that are needed for SC. The first 10 are, 21, 25, 26, 29, 52, 54, 62, 69, 70, 71. Thanks again, Rocketmaniac (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done with all of them on the List of SC Routes page. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 16:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NM signs

Since some NM signs were just created, I would like to request a couple more to complete the adjoining Texas articles. Needed are #'s 128, 176, 132, 114, and 421. Thanks. 25or6to4 (talk) 01:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done! —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 11:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC) (P.S., don't forget to purge the page!)[reply]

NJ's missing shields

New Jersey's missing a ton of shields if someone can make them. They are: 445S, 11N, 25AD, S41A, S41N, S44A, S100, S101, 700N and 700P. I'm not sure how well someone can fit 4 digits on a circle shield, but thanks. ^Mitch32^contribs 22:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of those shields except for S100 and S101 are listed in the elongated shield category with the format: Image:Elongated circle 444S.svg. I'll accept on the other two though and put them in the elongated shield group. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 23:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They're done and put into the aforementioned group. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 00:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Capitol Loop (Lansing, Michigan)

Can someone redraw this route's shield as a svg? Imzadi1979 (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still More South Carolina Road shields

I've got another batch of shields that are needed for SC. The first 10 are, 74, 77, 79, 91, 94, 95, 96, 98, 108, and 112. Thanks again, Rocketmaniac ^RT 05:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note to acceptor: See my note here; SCDOT changed the shield design. I dunno if we want to finish off the old set, or just move on to the new style. Either way, there's a template for the new design on Commons. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 05:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the old design should be kept as a reference. If the new one is official, though, then that's great. ----DanTD (talk) 06:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick post to ask what direction SC shields needed to be headed? Old or New? In the SC highways up to the 200's, I know of about 30-40 missing shields in the old style. I still haven't gone throught all of the higher numbers to see what is missing. I am finding out that SC has tons of state routes. This is the article that I'm working on, List of numbered highways in South Carolina. Thanks, Rocketmaniac ^RT 13:13, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding whether to use the old ones or not, I'm going to start making the shields in the new design; whether they should be uploaded; let me know. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 20:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, definitely upload them, they use different file names anyways. --Holderca1^talk 20:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most new South Carolina shields are DONE. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 22:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great. What are you naming these new shields? Thanks, Rocketmaniac ^RT 02:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"South Carolina X.svg" --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 03:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can see them here: Talk:List of numbered highways in South Carolina/completion list. --Holderca1^talk 13:19, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's a long list. While SC has tons of state roads, that list appears to have all number between 1 and 999. I've switched all the existing shields over to the new style. Now I am going back and double checking all the highways and adding the highway numbers that while they aren't currently assigned to a highway, they did at one time exist and have a history. I've just completed highways up to 299 and have found another 30-40 shields that need to be created in the new style. Thanks, Rocketmaniac ^RT 13:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, see the note at the very top of that page, not all may have existed. --Holderca1^talk 16:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

County Route 9 (Dutchess County, New York)

In a .svg format. Thanks. Juliancolton (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dutchess CRs 8-10 are done. You're welcome! :) —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 23:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TX FM shield template

Would it be possible to get a TX FM shield template? Currently there is a huge library of PNG TX FM images that I'd like to convert to SVG. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a template, but my best guess is to create one for yourself (and if possible, upload it to Commons) using the blank FM shield and page 21 of the Texas DOT guide. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 23:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a template that I will upload (actually I have more than one, the numbers are different sizes depending on the number of digits). Yeah, there is about 3,500 different shields with only about 10-20% in svg format. They are a little tedious to make as the number is not centered on the shield, so you have to calculate the correct position each time you make one. --Holderca1^talk 21:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go, just center the numbers on 224 and you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any problems. I didn't upload the templates for 1 and 2 digit shields since those are all complete. --Holderca1^talk 01:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. So I could go through commons and tag all the 1-2 digit TX FM PNG shields for deletion? --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just so everyone knows, I've redone the templates so the numbers are already centered. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 04:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? You have to do it everytime, just like creating any other shield, different numbers have different widths, such as 1111 is not nearly as wide as 3000. --Holderca1^talk 11:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap, I just saw what you actually did. How did you do that? I have manually centered every shield I have ever created, didn't know it could automatically be done. How do you go about doing that? --Holderca1^talk 11:59, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had thought most of the 1-2 digit png shields had already been deleted, but if not yes. Actually, the completion lists are here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas State Highways/Completion list/Farm to Market and Ranch to Market Roads. --Holderca1^talk 11:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NJ County Route shields

I need the following shields for NJ CRs:

Middlesex CR 644
Middlesex CR 646
Middlesex CR 648
Passaic CR 611

If anyone can, thanks!^Mitch32^contribs 12:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They're done, with a note on the requester's talk page. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 20:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevada State Route shields

For the highways, they're listed for, plus the two main Interstates(15 & 80), and at least one list of highways with the same name, I'm requesting the following shields:

490, 578, 582, 589, 591, 592, 593, 668, 766, and 858.

I'm going to start doing these for more Nevada State Highways that cross Interstates in Nevada. ----DanTD (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll accept on this. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 22:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
