Seems we have the same map, although mine was produced in the UK by Collins in Association with Rand McNally. But anyway, looking at other Rand McNally state maps they all seem to use the same colour scheme that you describe. As with most countries you find different colour schemes used by different map producers. For instance, a couple of other CA/SF maps I have show: Hertz (Produced by Colour-Art Inc) uses: Freeways: Dark Green with black casing Tolled: Yellow with black casing Other 4 lane divided highways. Thin red Everything else: Thin grey H.M. Gousha uses: Freeways: Bluish red with black casing Tolled: Bluish red with black casing Other 4 lane divided highways. Orange with black casing Everything else: Thick black (thin black in urban areas) Cheers Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
