[Update] Road names/USA - State highway naming
https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Road_names/U ... e_highways
The road names page could certainly use more substantial updates than just this, but this section seems particularly outdated at this point. We now have both "SR-" and "SH-" abbreviations supported by TTS, and (imperfect) support for state two-letter abbreviations as well.
I propose we remove the "long names" guidance and suggest that only "SR-", "SH-", or state-specific abbreviations (e.g., "LA-", "M-") are acceptable. This would also require an update of the linked "Road naming by state" article/table.
I do not believe that shield generation is a valid reason to keep the old (long) names. Rather, changing the name format should be an impetus to finally get our act together and send staff a request for new shield matching parameters.
