"Do me a favor: Go outside, look up at the sky and if it's daytime and if there aren't any clouds, you'll see a large yellow hot thing. Don't stare at it for too long as it can damage your vision. That's called the Sun and it emits far more low-level electromagnetic radiation in a single day than you'll ever receive in a lifetime living near powerlines. If you are not concerned about the Sun and its myriads effects upon you and your health in general, I wouldn't worry too much, if at all, about living near high voltage lines."

The Trump Administration has reversed the Obama's administration to phase out use of Clearview font in favor of the traditional FHWA font. Now DOTs can choose between Clearview and the royalty free FHWA font. I expect with the modern sub versions of FHWA font including lower case characters most will stick with FHWA.
