(Thread resurrection)

There are many instances of interstates and US highways in my area that have concurrent names (I-84/I-380, US-11/US-15, US-22/US-322). When you look at traditional maps and Google maps, the shields for these roads are combined or shown side-by-side. It would be nice if Waze could do this too...

Also, per https://www.waze.com/wiki/Road_Naming_% ... rent_names, how do you determine which is the primary? It's not always obvious.

I'd like to see a feature for Rank 3 or higher to be able to give these roads two names, not just in the alternate name fields. Or, there should be a way to combine these names in one name field.

It's been often requested to have multiple-shield-per-road display. Putting multiple names in a single field, however, will not display multiple shields, it won't display any shields at all. So instead of a lovely I-59 shield, you'd see "I-59 N / I-20 E" and "I-59 S / I-20 W" floating above the length of the concurrency, and that's gonna look bad.

In short, it's not something we can accomplish just by editing differently.

Note that there's nothing to stop from putting multiple names on entrance and exit ramps for freeways. If it's a ramp "to I-59 N / I-20 E / Birmingham", put that.

I've definitely seen "US-90 E / US-98 E" in the client, but that may have been when shield generation was inactive/nonfunctional/not automatic. So I suppose it's inconclusive.

Either way.
