If we do go with bilingual signs, I really hope we get a better design than what we currently have.

The Expressway signs of are a classic example, is Te Ara Puke the name of this expressway, or the name for an expressway? The sign doesn't provide that information.

Maybe they could be better but I don't have a better design to prove it.

Yes we do, the Irish road signs, which italicise Irish, are an example of this idea done far better.

Haha yes, I also saw those responses after writing this. Italics for one does seem like a good idea to differentiate them.
