amItheOnlyOneHere.png that thinks, in the vast majority of
cases, using the sign type you'd actually see on the highway
is useful, particularly for unusual cases? For example, the
Oklahoma Turnpike Authority shields are really that hard to
read when you're on the highway, so it's good to know you're
only expecting a symbol as something recognizable in either
case. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

i'll argue also that it's a rendering choice, and different
rendering<br>
engine designers may choose differently. right now, what Phil did<br>
is basically for demo purposes. there had been talk about maybe<br>
deploying it on openstreetmap.us as a us centered version of<br>
OSM, but that hasn't happened (and it's been a while). <br>
<br>
what it demonstrates quite effectively is that we have all the
tagging<br>
we need for shields right now; we don't need a new tagging<br>
proposal, just a lot of hard work building out the relations and<br>
tagging them properly.<br>
