most of the times I see it name=Frontage Road ref=US 29 this will be rendered in similar way as on other maps. Name is on the street and US, I, is on a shield. Doesn't make sense to duplicate the ref on the name. for the rest of the proposed changes in previos mails of the thread I'd say go ahead and do the changes. > Rather than "Interstate 95 Frontage Road", just "I-95 Frontage Road".
