Just clinched WA 100 tonight.
There are two segments, both bannered: The segment we have in the browser is signed as SR 100 Loop (no directional banners), and a short SR 100 Spur from the southern most point to Fort Canby. That point, BeaHolSP, needs to renamed to WA100Spur and the BeaHolSP tag hidden to prevent any .list breaks.
WA 100 Spur Ilwaco needs to be added to the system.
To reiterate:
WA100 -> WA100Loop Ilwaco
BeaHolSP -> WA100Spur +BeaHolSP
Create: WA100Spur Ilwaco, points at WA100Loop and FtCan

Nobody is currently responsible for Washington, so go for it.

What to use in the CSV banner field for "loop"?

Looks like this would be the first example, so I guess it's time to pick something. I can verify that the DB field is 3 characters, so I'd say "Lp" makes the most sense. Better than "Loo" or "Lop".

The last time I checked WA 100 Spur was not signed. It is signed now, so it should be added. WA 100 Loop is signed as vanilla WA 100 at US 101. Its reassurance signs have Loop banners. I would leave wa100.wpt as is and add wa100sprfor.wpt for WA 100 Spur Fort Canby.

Regardless of how WA 100 is signed, it would still be good to have a "Loop" banner, especially for usaga. Unless we want to do special templates for the usaga loops, since I believe most are signed with "Loop" inside the Georgia outline.

At least the second example, actually:
usaok;OK;OK56;Lp;Okm;Okmulgee;ok.ok056lpokm;
So that precedent being set, along with the same "Lp" abbreviation being used throughout Texas, I second "Lp."

I also think having a Loop banner is a good idea; more of these could show up. CHM has a Loop banner in use for the above route: cmap.m-plex.com/hb/hwymap.php?r=ok.ok056lpokm
I'll stay officially neutral re special shield templates.

As I've mentioned previously, I'd be more than happy to take over maintenance for WA.
