Marker size
Back in August, several changes were tested and implemented. Of the list, only an increase in thee base marker size from 20px to 24px was not implemented. At the time, I mentioned that the slight increase would promote some legibility. I'm hoping this is still something we could do. Imzadi 1979 → 02:21, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- This will be a simple change to make, just changing a couple 20s to 24. One benefit to this is that banners and direction plates will be centered on wide shields. At the 25x20 aspect that we have now, there is one more pixel on one side. –Fredddie™ 05:11, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Any opposition to such a change? Shall we make it? Imzadi 1979 → 20:58, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think it would be a big deal. However, is there a sample page somewhere that has the new Jct template in use (or manually coded to simulate the new)? I'm sitting at my home computer now, and if there is I could compare on both my big screen and mobile to see if there's any stark damage done to the formatting of a sample article.

- Template:Jct/testcases. I have already made the changes, but there is a legacy jct column (from before the banners were fixed) where you can see the difference. –Fredddie™ 22:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Fredddie: Sorry I didn't see this until now, and it's likely too late. Still, I've got your testcases page up on a 32" monitor, a 21" monitor, 14" netbook and 5" cell phone. Nothing looks seriously broken, though I have to ask what is going on with the 6th row from the bottom, there appear to be some errors in the coding as the first two columns look nothing like the 3rd (US verses Iowa 99 shield and the orange banners not present in one). Except for that, the smaller the display the more entries require one additional row in the table to display, but that's to be expected. Dave (talk) 03:03, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- That was a test to make sure that "toshields" are working correctly. In Ontario, they use a different shield for "To Highway 402":
{{Jct|state=MI|I|69|I|94|to3=y|ON|402}}
I-69 / I-94 to Highway 402. That being said, the "legacy Jct" did not support "toshields" or banners, so it looks entirely different. –Fredddie™ 22:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Ukrainian markers
Please replace the blue markers with new, red ones - in 2021 Ukraine started to introduce new road signage (and route markers too). The new files are already uploaded on Commons, with filenames as Mxx-UA.svg (i.e. M01-UA.svg, M02-UA.svg, etc.). 83.11.100.233 (talk) 00:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
