Interstates/Highways - Include Direction or Not?
I'm tired of waffling on how to name interstates and highways in my area. On one freeway I went from "Hwy 78" (the name the base map came with) to "State Hwy 78", and finally to "State Rte 78 E" and "State Rte 78 W" (depending on the direction it travels, of course).
The wiki says that interstates and highways should have the direction included... but when I browse the map in other areas I very rarely see that.
It's also frustrating because including the direction in the name breaks the convention for shield display. In a perfect world I could name an interstate "I- 15 N" or "I- 15 S", or a state route "SR- 78 E" or "SR- 78 W" and it would still display shields. Oh, and shields would be displayed in the client as well.
Short of that, I need to settle on a naming convention. What say you?
