below it. No blank line between the two template calls — MediaWiki renders them as a visual stack: universal infobox on top, tech infobox directly below, both right-aligned.

The road name logo appears at the very top of the infobox. The template automatically constructs the filename from the road_name parameter. If no logo file exists, the road name is displayed as a text label.

Requires: ParserFunctions extension + $wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true (for #replace to construct logo filenames).
