I don't think the extra complexity of the shields slows down the time it
takes to render them. But the tiles themselves on the shield map take way
longer to load than on osm.org (which is why I really want the shields on
the main OSM website), which I guess is because of a slower tileserver.

Er, sorry about that. I've been extremely busy for about the past two
months, and probably won't really ha

Okay, but isn't the ultimate goal of this to get the shields on the map,
for the whole world to see? I mean, if I was the one doing this, I wouldn't
consider this a "finished project" until it was on the Standard (Mapnik)
layer on openstreetmap.org, integrated into the Carto stylesheet. To be

The tiles on the OSM-US server are up and running. The preview was on
Phil's home server that had limited bandwidth. A better UI to the tile
layer can be found here with standard map controls and a simple search
feature to jump to locations:

Yes that would be really interesting to push forward. To my mind this
should be a default tile layer on osm.us (not that we have a slippy
map on there today at all – but we should).
The layer still work

In a conversation with a King County (Washington) employee, we discussed
his project to create tiles from OSM to use as basemaps for King County and
hopefully others. While he doesn't need our tile server, the shields would
really enhance the basemaps.

Hello,
I was just wondering what's been going on with rendering the highway
shields. I haven't heard anything about it for a while. The last time
anything was mentioned about this was in late-July when it was announced
that the tiles were put up on the OSM-US server--and that was only meant to
