I have a question:

Why do have the Road Signs Road different numbers? I just had a few in my hands
and cannot see any difference - only the print. So why do 7284, 80039, 80045
exist - could they not get numbers like 14pb**?

Makes no difference for me, I am just curious

[P=80045]

[P=7284]

I believe what he's asking is why don't they have a similar naming convention
like 14bp01, 14bp02, 14bp03... This may be simplified, but the idea is there.

Good question!

Turns out that the few signs that have the other numbers not starting with "14"
are numbered according to their internal LEGO design numbers for the elements
when they were produced for
 
Set No: 6549  Name: Roadblock Runners
* 
6549-1 (Inv) Roadblock Runners
167 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1997
Sets: Town: Town Jr.: Traffic

BrickLink does not use those numbers since we use the base part numbers to number
decorated parts in the database. Therefore, I have gone ahead and renumbered
the few that required it.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is always nice to be able to
find all of the decorated versions of a part with one search.

Cheers,
Randy

Thank you! Much easier to find these parts now.

I found another thing:

 
Part No: 14pb06  Name: Road Sign Round with 'STOP' in Triangle Pattern
* 
14pb06 Road Sign Round with 'STOP' in Triangle Pattern
Parts: Road Sign, Decorated

This part has the same 14-Number as the other road signs. But this part is a
different mold: The round part is bigger than the other 14s.

Regards
