But this is not always correct. In Michigan, for example, all state highways are named M-nn, with M- being part of the road's actual name in many places. It is never, ever, written MI-nn. States like Wisconsin get tricky, too. "Wis nn" is common, but so is the much older "STH nn" (for State Trunk Highway). -- Kristian Zoerhoff [email protected] _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
