How are road sign texts created?

Hello, I was wondering, how are these texts generated in game? from what I've learned, they are not actually bound to the sign itself but to the road they're being streamed above.

I know the link looks suspicious but it links to imgur and I couldn't embed the gif in here :/

These road sign labels are done by 2dfx of dff model

Dff models can have extentions that contain special features

Most popular features are lights and particle effects

But also roadsignes, escalators or objects that spawns peds like "Suicidal Photographers" at Wasteland near St. Maria Beach: click

 

Read tutorial about 2dfx, DK22Pac provides also a tool to create/convert 2dfx informations

 

The tool RW Analyse is required to integrate the 2dfx information as extention inside the dff model

 

Your roadsign doesn't contain any 2dfx information, but the street

 

cunte_roads15.dff contains the 2dfx sections with 3 Roadsign assignments:
