Making a Roadsign?(or : help on how to use textMeshes)

Depends on your constraints. They best way to make a high-resolution one would be to create a mesh for it (i.e. render the text in your modelling program).

If you have moderate resolution needs, you may prefer to just use a texture, since you can then easily add realistic "grading" (dirt, bullet holes, etc.)

Finally, if you have very many signs with lots of text on them, then yes, use a 3D text mesh. Note that the default GUI Text shader ignores depth buffer (i.e. always paints "on top"), so you'll need an alternative.

Here you go, save this as "GiveWay.obj":
