I like the fact that they took some artistic license and used "stylized", or "iconified" shields, rather than trying to do a perfect pixel-per-pixel resize of the prototype shields. The latter method does not necessarily produce good on-screen results.(Which is to be expected, given that the
I've also noticed that they are using their own state border files instead of
the ones in OSM. Here's an example of this at the WV/VA crossing of WV-9/VA-9:

can still see the OSM border there, but it isn't as defined as
I was just looking at their tiles tonight and they've updated them to include
state shields!! Saw shields for PA, SC, MD, VA, WV, CA, and NY for starters.
Maybe now we should all agree to use the proper state abbreviation for the
ref tags on the ways instead of not having them at all

Still needs fixing:
'Banners' on county roads (e.g. CR 35 Alternate, CR 50 Old)
C-* is a county road (in Ohio at least; it may be used for state highways in
Colorado)
Overlaps
I believe in the OSM scheme, CR is county road. Colorado and Kansas
typically stylize their state roads as C and K

I'd suggest you copy o...@mapquest.com to further replies on this thread.
As for consistency, perhaps adding alternate tags is a possible solution.
Messy and redundant, but, yes, consistency for styling, routing, etc will
continue to be an issue if ground truth is considered authoritative, and

display toll booths at high zooms - not sure if this is new). The
