When I visited Mexico City in 2015, I only ever saw white-on-green signs as well. What do they look like on other maps, such as print maps?

There are some photos online of Eje Central having [a colored shield](https://twitter.com/andreslajous/status/1203354112063991809/photo/1) and Eje 2 Sur having [a black-on-white shield](https://cletofilia.com/inauguran-carril-trolebici-en-eje-2-sur-de-la-cdmx/). Maybe it’s newer?

I added [a brief mention](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/2321402#Examples_on_relations) in the examples section of the `ref` documentation [back in 2014](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:Diff/1095947), but it’s easy to overlook.

Perhaps we should split this issue into motorways (which are ready and trivial to implement) and trunk roads (which still need a resolution on `ref` prefixes).
