United States roads tagging/Routes

This picture dictionary shows how to tag the most common routes in the United States, based on signage you see while field surveying or on Mapillary or OpenStreetCam. See Road signs in the United States for more discussion about these shields, Custom Highway Shields for information on implementing a renderer that displays shields based on these tags, and United States roads tagging for road tagging in general.

The ref=* values below are also used in destination:ref=*. In most states, guide signs omit the black background seen below.
