[Talk-us] shields and overlaps

2011-06-04 Thread Richard Weait
I'm doing a little work on shield rendering for Interstate and US Route shields, etc. Who has a favourite highway overlap? I'd like a few examples of each of the following. - two Interstates overlapping on a way - three Interstates overlapping on a way - combination of Interstates and US Routes

Here's some examples you could test: 2 Interstates - I-77 I-74: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/16776408 (Note: IMO, I think the refs should be I 77;I 74 instead since the mileage on this section is I-77's.) 2 Interstates + US Highway - I-73, I-74, US-220:
