I was on the 710 and 105 and they painted the number of the freeways on the actual road with that shield-shaped symbol. Is it for the benefit of drivers or people looking down from copters?

In a car you can only see it for a moment.

Shield pavement marking. For drivers, not helicopters. Goal is to get cars in the correct lane well before a merge.

There is one sign on the East LA interchange which sets you up in the wrong lane for the transition to the 5 or 10.
And the local "artist" often make signage unreadable.
