Map with road signs

[Steve Lime]

Is a road sign a combination of a base sign and then an identifier (e.g.
road number)? If so then
you can build those using a  combination of classes (to define the base
sign) and a label. This is the
standard way of handling road signs.

The other idea, that is,  SYMBOL [signcolumn] will be possible in 5.0
(see RFC 19) but might become
problematic from a performance perspective.
