Probably discussed earlier, how do I add highway shields in the map?

You need to add highway-symbol prefixes to your lines style file. Example: highway=motorway {name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox}' | '${name|highway-symbol:hbox}'

From the source code, these are the possible values for highway shields:

"interstate" // US Interstate "shield" // US Highway shield "round" // US Highway round "hbox" // box with horizontal bands "box"; // Square box "oval" // box with rounded end The US symbols display only numeric values (e.g., "1", "401", etc). The others are alphanumeric (e.g. "A5"). Hope this helps. Cheers.
