This is a standard North American stop sign, but with a twist: It's written in Cherokee! These stop signs are common within the real-life territories of all three Cherokee tribes, as part of a larger effort to preserve and celebrate our language, and now you can have one in SL! Great for bringing a little variety to your build, or just for decoration.
There are three different designs included: One written in both Cherokee and English (labeled "Bilingual Cherokee Stop Sign"), and one written in both Cherokee and English with the Latin-alphabet transliteration to help with learning the Cherokee Syllabary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee_syllabary). So, both of these should be useful even to people who aren't familiar with the Cherokee language. The third design (labeled "Gowelodi Alewisdodi") is written entirely in Cherokee, with no English translation.
Additionally, the sign has a small, simple, spam-free, open-source translation script: When clicked, the sign will IM the person who clicked it to give them the Cherokee text of the sign (transliterated to the Latin alphabet due to lack of support for Cherokee syllabic characters in SL), and the English translation. This is mainly provided as a convenient backup feature for drivers/visitors, so that they can find out what the sign says even if the texture hasn't loaded yet, but it can be safely removed if desired.
There are five versions of each design included in the box (15 signs total!), all with mod/copy/no-transfer permissions, and all have a land impact of 1 or less:
- Metal Post: Metal sign mounted to a tintable stamped-metal post (an original mesh design by Lupinia Studios), like most road signs in North America. 100% mesh.
- Wooden Post: Like the Metal Post version, but with a wooden post instead, for a more rustic/rural look. 100% mesh.
- No Post: Just the sign by itself, to mount on a wall or if you have your own mounting solution. 100% mesh.
- Gentek-Compatible: Identical to the No Post version, but with the root positioned to perfectly align with the stop sign from the Gentek Road Sign Kit (purchased separately), to create a more unified look with the other road signs in your build. Detailed instructions below. 100% mesh.
- Wood Prim Post: Since the wooden post is basically just a standard rectangle, there's a non-mesh version included for those who would prefer a prim version of the signpost (the sign itself is still mesh though, and this version of the sign still has a land impact of only 1).

GENTEK SIGN MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
===========================
Make sure you have a backup copy of both this sign and the Gentek stop sign before following these steps! Also, these instructions assume familiarity with the SL building tools; for additional help, contact Natasha Petrichor.
1. Rez the stop sign from the Gentek Road Sign kit.
2. Set every face except the post to 100% transparency.
3. Rez the Gentek-Compatible sign from this kit.
4. Copy the X, Y, and Z values from both the Position and Rotation sections of the Gentek stop sign, and paste them into the corresponding fields on the Gentek-Compatible sign from this kit. IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the size of either sign!
5. Once step 4 is complete, both signs should look seamlessly aligned with each other as if they were one piece. Done!
6. As an optional step, link the two signs together (select them both and hit Ctrl+L), and take a copy into your inventory, so that you don't have to do this more than once :)
