I see your point. That would be easier than having to do
- Code: Select all
IF road=SR-## AND state=Alabama THEN say State Highway ##
for every state.

I think that Waze should use the naming that is consistent with the state's approach and not a overall national approach.

But I later had the thought that near borders you will have ramps leading to highways in other states. So we can't rely on the state field of the segment to give us the proper translation.

The actual Interstate is set to freeway and named "I-44 E" and "I-44 W" but does not produce the shield icon.
From what I understand, putting the cardinal directions in I-44 E, it wont produce a shield. They were trying to get Waze to accept the cardinals for shields, but nothing yet.

I don't know the answer, either, but perhaps worth investigating.
