To answer the question, Highway Gothic is much easier to read

Except when reflecting at night due to the Halation effect they mentioned.

It was a cute exaggeration that he used to make his visual, but that’s a valid point. It’s easily solved by reducing the reflectivity of the white paint. In reality, I’ve never noticed that effect. However, I have noticed that Clearview, especially the ALL CAPS VERSION is almost impossible to read quickly while moving at highway speed and operating a motor vehicle.
