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.

Thanks! Testing how it looks on the map. On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 6:55 PM, Clinton Gladstone<clinton.gladstone@googlemail.com> wrote:
