there are some NYS routes where we want to build relations, but we don't actually want any sort of ref tag or shield rendering, at least not by default. these are the NYS reference routes, generally numbered 9xx followed by a letter. four of these routes have signs posted, none of the others do.i've generally, instead of ref= used ref:unsigned= for the reference. i'm not wedded to this, and am willing to entertain alternatives. is there something that is preferable given that the shield rendering is coming along?
unsigned_ref is currently used on 31,578 ways and 381 relations. [1] That's what I'm using for counties that only post their route numbers on mileposts, since you can't navigate by these numbers. [2][3]
That brings up another issue: in many parts of Ohio, county route numbers are included on sign blades [5] or ordinary directional signs [6] but don't have dedicated shields. I'm using ref for these numbers, because it is possible to navigate by them. But the shield renderer gives refs on highway=secondary or =tertiary the usual capsule badges, since no shield template has been specified. Any chance refs with unknown networks could be drawn like they are on highway=unclassified -- as bold, unadorned text -- regardless of the highway tag?
