Look at any A or B road in the UK and you will see the number
rendered alongside the road at the end of each way - it isn't
in a shield, but that's because UK maps aren't normally rendered
with road number in shields. For example:

  http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.76529491622359&lon=-0.016075984770263948&zoom=16&layers=0BT

Has the A10, A1170, B180 (though it isn't really anymore) and B1179.
