True lowercase letters are causing problems on road sign indicators on

AS I SAID, empirical evaluation by those who had good cause to care
about the issue indicates the opposite, that people take longer to
read all caps (as is also the case in normal text).
This evaluation was done specifically for high speed roads. It
included live testing on one motorway.
Would not be the first time that Mr. Verdy's statements are in an
interesting relation to empirically determined results.
