I've been trying to understand the issues that keep us from having Pictural Route Shields. The issue is on github [1] but as best as I can understand, it gets down to how we (US) tag routes. From talking to Paul Norman we need to fix the tagging problems before we can get pictural route shields.

If I recall correctly from a discussion on the Talk-us list a while back, the preferred way in the US is now to specify the shield in a route relation. I did not follow the discussion fully but my impression is that the tagging allowed for custom specification of the shield. It looks like

I think having it on the relation is a great idea, especially since adding the tags to all the road segments sounds like an insane amount of tagging . Is this something that we should ask Phil to create a formal proposal page for the tags, so we can start adding symbol key values to relations?
