How do you correct road sign numbers fit into their symbol?

[PROBERT68]

So let's say if you have the road symbol set up in a specific area and you discover that a few of them had numbers overrun the symbols like this:

and what if you have others that are already have the same symbol and are fit into their symbol in the same area ? most of the time the numbers are either 2 or 3 and can fit fine.

I am using ArcGIS 10.3.1 and I have Label Manager set up already here..

Thank you

One thing I just thought of is to decrease the text symbol by going to the Character Width down to 65 from 100. Haven't tried that yet because I had a very of them that I turned it off...

So if you came across like this  try this way...

I looked at this, Robert, and I have to ask; "are you using Maplex and were you in layout mode when you first attempted to label your county roads. . .?

[PROBERT68]

Yes they were in Maplex and you are right they were in layout as well.  Do you have a solution to this ?

I just tried this way this morning .

and after 

Boy this is really challenge !

First, you should go into your "Style Manager" and see what you are working with. . . .add some more shields, signs, etc. in order to use the right sign style for the number of characters. Good luck! Adding to your library will be worth the effort.

Good to know and thanks.  Yes very challenge here...
