Add highway shields for Romania
Not all European shields are boring. Romania's look awesome!

Here is the mention problem with the ref parsing. Ref for this route is DN1 but shields show only number 1. It's not terrible, but it will not look as pretty.

Sounds like the ref values are wrong. ref=DN1 should be just ref=1 for the same reason that US Route 1 has ref=1 instead of ref=US1.
Right, DN1 would be better as name= or alt_ref=. There doesn't seem to have been a formal route=road relation proposal and every community came up with their own implementation (it's not the only place where I've seen this). Now this causes problems for global projects like this one. :(
We can try to suggest a change to their refs, but I am somewhat skeptical that this will be successfull.
I think we can just render the refs as they are. We can share with the Romanian mapping community and if they care that it doesn't look right, they can discuss what to do about it.
(20c67cb) So the motorway shields are all good:
But the trunk shields don't look good:
Stretching the shield makes it a bit better, but the 4 letter are IMO borderline readable.
Longer refs are bad.
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).
