State Loop Symbol for Highways in a Map

Does anyone know where I can get a state loop symbol to use on my maps. Our font library here at work that we use is corrupt and cant be fixed. Thanks for the help.

Michele,

Can you give more details? What state? Are you talking about something like these?

No. It would be a state loop shield for a highway. I'm in Texas. The shield looks like a rectangle with the ends that come to a point. I don't really have a picture to attach. Is there maybe a whole library of highway shields, from ESRI or the internet. I haven't been able to find one.

Michelle,

The MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) is the authoritative source for signs.

Not being from Texas I am not familiar with the shield you are looking for does the below site help?

Texas State Highway Loop 360 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia‌

ArcMap has Character Marker Symbol > ESRI US MUTCD 1, ESRI US MUTCD 2, ESRI US MUTCD 3. I would search through those.

Thanks! Looks like our font library has always had the wrong symbol. I really appreciate all your help. Thank you!
