A road sign that is {{PD-ineligible}}.

You should assume that a road sign is copyright-protected and may not be uploaded unless you can demonstrate to the contrary. Allowable signs include those that are too simple to attract copyright protection (use the {{PD-ineligible}} tag), those that are old enough to be in the public domain, and those released to the public domain by government policy - e.g. certain signs which are specified within the US Department of Transportation's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Road signs may also be subject to the freedom of panorama if photographed at a publicly accessible place in countries that respect this freedom.
