Can I add a label to a plane?

[uberalles]

I have streets dividing neighborhoods of buildings and I want to be able to add a label that shows the name of the street. I'm trying to get it so it looks like the label is flat on top of the street, almost like a watermark. Is this even possible? How can I get a label out of the UI Root hierarchy and make it a child of the street object? Thanks.

1. Create a game object in your world.
2. Attach the UIPanel script to it.
3. With it selected, ALT+SHIFT+L to add a label child.
4. Scale the UIPanel object until you get the desired size.
