Solved Highway data updates / PA: US-11 labels?
« Last post by rickmastfan67 on September 17, 2025, 05:22:26 am »Should we convert the 3 labels of US-11 where it joins PA-581, into 'exit number' labels (the "PA581()" style)?

-usanht: Added shields and code. Went logoless since it appears that the logos (or at least some of them) are copyright-protected by the NPS.
So I've never seen that type of shield on the Lewis and Clark Trail, it always looks like this. Was that a copyright decision? If so I agree that we should have fair use (and copyrighting silhouettes of historical figures seems silly).
Here are 4 examples of the one I added (including the bubbly triangular logo of course):
1, 2, 3, 4
I also saw some examples of only the bubbly triangular logo being posted. I tried to keep the shields consistent throughout the system, but if the consensus is that the above shield is preferred and posted more frequently, then I have no problem adding that one instead.
Weird, must be an eastern thing. I've personally never seen one of those west of the Mississippi. Would there be a way to keep the current shield for IN/KY/OH and add the rectangle for MO/KS/IA/NE/SD/ND/MT/ID/WA/OR?
-----------------------------------------

In-progress Highway Systems & Work / Re: usanht: United States National Historic Trails
« Last post by neroute2 on September 16, 2025, 03:02:51 pm »VA WRTrl may have been realigned onto the Colonial Parkway east of Williamsburg. Today I saw signs for it on SR 132Y pointing right on SR 132 and on SR 132 north pointing left on US 60. Nothing on GSV, so they must be recent. I don't know if there were any signs going the other way (probably not because the parkway is closed).

It being copyright protected shouldn't deter us with this any more than it does with other protected IP used on shields, for the same reason: we have a pretty solid fair use rationale here.
The logo is subject to copyright because NPS doesn't want people selling T-shirts and other memoribilia with it without giving them a cut. They're not going to be bothered by or even have much of a case against non-commercial use in an open source project in direct reference to the road the shield identifies.
Can always click that link to contact them and ask permission if you're really concerned though.
I could contact them, but I don't have a functioning way at the moment to convert the raster graphics to vectors anyway. Since only one of them (Oregon Trail) currently has an SVG available, I figured it would be best to keep system-wide consistency.
