Palisades Interstate Parkway Commission shields

[claysmalley]

Parkways of the Palisades Interstate Parkway Commission have a white-on-brown circular shield, with an illustration of a leaf on top and the full name of the parkway spelled out on bottom.

Currently, the routes in New York are tagged with network=US:NY:Parkway:PIPC and the route in New Jersey is tagged network=US:NJ. A consistent tagging scheme will have to be devised and implemented before shield support can be added.

I'm inclined to think that dropping the text entirely and just displaying the leaf symbology would be the right approach here.

I agree, though right now it seems like shields prevent the rendering of street names. We need to show the name alongside the shield if the shield isn't enough to determine which route it is.

Wondering if there's a technical solution that lets the street name always appear under the shield. Alternately, maybe it's possible to spread out the shields more for routes where we know we want the name to be drawn.

Option 5 in https://github.com/ZeLonewolf/openstreetmap-americana/pull/119#issuecomment-1031143629 might apply here: decrease the minimum zoom level at which roads in this network are labeled, so that the road’s effective “shield” is a text label.
