I don't recall seeing I and US on signs in the US, although it might have been the case where I've been. I-270 shield can be seen in this street view shot: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=40.107159,-83.090973&spn=0,359.855804&z=14&layer=c&cbll=40.107047,-83.090972&panoid=ICjdA1-PhqqvaAIU0LrLdA&cbp=12,20.45,,0,-12.46 US route 33 and state route 161 can be seen here: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=40.101448,-83.132343&spn=0,359.927902&z=15&layer=c&cbll=40.101653,-83.132123&panoid=fbvnitKC4m487VmCt3QlGQ&cbp=12,237.87,,0,3.5 None of them have lettered prefixes on signs, the lettering occurs when you refer to them etc. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
