Does that also mean that you've planned to make a few new cities in Denmark (or already did)? if yes, which cities can we expect?

Sometimes, research in official documents is not enough: field research is also very important, because what's on paper doesn't necessarily have to be that way in reality ;)

Yep, exactly! Important to check how it looks in reality. Nearly all speed signs I have seen in Denmark looks like the one I posted, but If they use different fonts, a mixed implementation sounds good!

Some claim the sign fonts isnt really a big issue. Well, as I said, it is a minor detail. But remember: The totality lies in the details. All those small details makes up the total picture. If you had a map where no signs were in the correct colour, and every font was wrong, then it would not look realistic at all.

Enjoy!

New crossing at Vejle (open since a few weeks!! IRL)
Very nice roads, signs and overlays. Also love that you include newly built roads. Makes the map feel relevant and updated. :)

But - please keep the "scenery style" MandelSoft showed - open landscape with cornfields. These pictures, especially the first, looks a bit like the old version again, with trees/forests and only small fields.

The picture posted by norguy is an old sign (notable by the curvature of the metal post going around the top of the sign) whereas the latest font on the sign from Vejdiktoratet is the new form.
You best bet is to trace the font manually.
