Hm, are they actually using photos, or some clever SVG manipulation 
software to produce things that look very like real road signs?

Either way, I have previously had the dream of getting stuff like this 
for OSM.  I have a navigation system with a (reasonably) high-quality 
display.  Lots of OSMers take photos of stuff while mapping.  Storage is 
becoming cheaper.  The conclusion is obvious...

But I figured, getting proper routing working should be step 1 :-)
