AAMOF, if you're careful about where you make the pie-cut, and you're using corrugated plastic, you can just stick a couple plastic pins in the corrugation to hold the pieces together.
Yes, you could also cut a small pie piece that you use as a base (on the back) to glue the cut edges together.

I didn't use coroplast because I liked the thinness of the plastic sign. I speculated coroplast wouldn't bend as well (probably not true for this application, but that's how my brain works). I also don't like cutting curves in coroplast. Gluing coroplast together with pins is a cool idea, though. Gonna save that idea for later.

Right now I'm happy with the results. The real test will be my commute to work.
