As I've been (kind of) working on US highway shields, I was curious about this, too. Since they've now put their mapnik stylesheets on github, I checked it out, and they're not using route relations. They only support US and Interstate shields (as people have noted) and they just use the ref field, stripping off the 'US' or 'I' at the beginning. (Interestingly, it looks like they took the wiki text about using a space to heart; it doesn't look like refs of the form "I-95", with dashes, will be processed at all, although "I95", with no separator, will.) I don't see any special cases for multiple route membership, and it looks like road segments that belong to more than one route don't get any shields rendered. (That, to me, will be the biggest benefit of route-relation-based shield rendering, if anyone gets it working properly.) -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- He won't hurt me.
