[Talk-us] State ref tags on ways

[Elliott Plack]

Interesting note about this in Maryland. My friend Mike showed me that some
mappers have been using the *county* route numbers on some county roads in
Maryland. All county roads in MD have a 4 digit number that starts with CO,
like CO1150. CO is also the state abbr. for Colorado. Chaos ensues on the
renders that show shields when people do this in MD. Check out the Colorado
shields in Maryland on Mapquest Open. That's sure to confuse people.

For this reason, I advocate for the US:MD:CO reference someone mentioned.
