In most states they at least mention the name of the county (though we obviously wouldn't do this on maps); Wisconsin may be alone in leaving it off. Some counties (usually those that started signing routes before the now-standard blue pentagon was created) have very different designs, especially in New York (example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Erie_County_Route_30_NY.svg - for others scroll down to near the bottom of http://shields.aaroads.com/thumbs.php?state=NY). Minnesota uses both squares and pentagons; this may be on a countywide basis. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
