Awesome! I definitely think this is the sort of thing that will bring in more North American mappers by making the map seem more familiar. I took a look around Blacksburg and just noted a couple of things (once all the pink frowny-faces went away): - Secondaries (network US:VA:secondary) don't seem to be rendering at all, and the fallback shields aren't showing up even where there are ref tags (just seems to be using Mapnik style). Simple rule for VA: if the ref >= 600, or it has a letter in it, it's a secondary (except 785 and 895, which are signed primary). 1 <= 599 are primary. - The US 460 business route doesn't seem to be getting shields. URL for the area: http://elrond.aperiodic.net/shields/?zoom=14&lat=37.19755&lon=-80.40427&layers=B0 Also, a more general comment - I think concurrencies might look better stacked vertically in some circumstances... you'd have to have some logic about the underlying direction of the way to make that happen, but vertical stacking would look nicer on N-S ways I think. Compare: http://elrond.aperiodic.net/shields/?zoom=14&lat=37.13887&lon=-80.34525&layers=B0 and http://elrond.aperiodic.net/shields/?zoom=14&lat=37.19653&lon=-80.22878&layers=B0 Other oddities: I-26 in TN seems to be missing: http://elrond.aperiodic.net/shields/?zoom=11&lat=36.35713&lon=-82.42503&layers=B0 (It also seems to be missing in NC... maybe the relation got accidentally nuked? I can't even get the data view at OSM to work at the moment...) Similarly, while the 4-way US multiplex over the "old bridge" in Memphis is rendered fine, I-55 seems to be missing in both AR and TN (but is OK in MS): http://elrond.aperiodic.net/shields/?zoom=14&lat=35.1354&lon=-90.07954&layers=B0 Looks great so far otherwise - keep up the good work!
