Skyway Sign Concepts

 Per a suggestion from Skyscrapercity user Sky_Higher, I've created a second version of the EDSA concept signs from Mall of Asia to the Guadalupe Bridge, this time incorporating the route numbering and shields implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways in 2012 . As EDSA is part of National Highway 1, some of the inherent issues with the Philippine highway numbering system will pop up here. EDIT, 4/6/21: Changed directions on signage sketches from east/west to north/south, per suggestion from Skyscrapercity user goliath103 . --- Northbound, Mall of Asia to Guadalupe 450 meters east of Mall of Asia D. Macapagal Boulevard (TO Route E6) Though this segment is not actually part of the numbered routing along EDSA, it is close enough that signing it for Route 1 east is reasonable.

EDSA currently has no exit numbers, but all me...
