Not on my primary browser Firefox, or Chrome, though it seems to work in Microsloth Edge.

Batch 18:
-kena, kenb, musm, musa, and musb: Added shields and code.
-jpntk: Added shields and code.
-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.
-ausn: Added shields and code for the National Highways. Added individual shields for the National Routes. Only N1 is still signed with both types of shields, so it gets a green NH shield.
-ausnb: Added individual shields only, since there are two routes and they will soon be gone.
-ausqldtd: Added special shield for Blue Mountains Drive (the only exception to the code).
-afrtah: Added shields and code.
-hunm: Changed letter spacing to better render in the shields.
-uryrn: Added shields and code.

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.

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).

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.

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.
