Traffic Signs - Street Name Signs#
Attention
The traffic sign type described here is experimental. Use at your own risk!
Street name signs are non-functional elements, meaning they are not integrated into any Duckiebot behavior. However, they add an aesthetic and outreach element to Duckietown, making the city more engaging and visually appealing.
Tip
Consider naming the main avenue in your Duckietown after someone significant in your community, like your Department Head or a local robotics advocate.
