Shields of Mexico

[claysmalley]

(EN)

Federal Highways of Mexico have a unique black-on-white shield design. Almost all states of Mexico use a similar design with a square top for their State Highways.

Many numbered routes in Mexico are covered by route=road relations, but network=* tagging is limited. Values of network=* in Mexico are country-prefixed, but it is unclear which values correspond to Federal Highways, highways of Mexico City, and highways of the State of Mexico. A decision would need to be made on whether this tagging scheme is sufficient, and whether it is appropriate mapper feedback to support it.

Las Carreteras Federales de México tienen un diseño único de escudo en blanco y negro. Casi todos los estados de México utilizan un diseño similar con una parte superior cuadrada para sus Carreteras Estatales.

Muchas rutas numeradas en México están cubiertas por las relaciones route=road, pero el etiquetado network=* es limitado. Los valores de network=* en México tienen el prefijo del país, pero no está claro qué valores corresponden a Carreteras Federales, carreteras de la Ciudad de México y carreteras del Estado de México. Sería necesario tomar una decisión sobre si este esquema de etiquetado es suficiente y si este soporte brindará una buena retroalimentación a los mapeadores.

it is unclear which values correspond to Federal Highways, highways of Mexico City, and highways of the State of Mexico

Currently, MX:-prefixed network values are a mix of two-letter and three-letter state codes. Various inconsistent tagging schemes are in use for federal toll highways and México State highways. Generally, the network values for state highways seem to match the banners on the shields, except in the State of México, where EM and MEX-EM have also been used for some reason:

• MX:MX – carreteras federales, incluyendo las autopistas libres
• MX:MX:Cuota – autopistas de peaje
• MX:MX:D – el mismo (“D” = directo, según el escudo)
• MX:MEX carreteras estatales del Estado de México (según ISO 3166-2 y el escudo)
• MX:EM – el mismo (“EM” = Estado de México)
• MX:MEX-EM – el mismo

No network value currently represents Mexico City’s eje routes (#405).

A user in the Latin American Telegram chat suggested @mdelatorre‘s Mexico road signs plugin for JOSM as a resource. We should make sure this style and that plugin align on any tagging for these routes.

Mexico road signs preset for RoadSigns JOSM plugin uses the specifications mandated by the "Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes [SCT]" which is the authority in these matters in México.
