I will give it a try.<br>
I thought there might be a labeling plug-in which would simplify
there process.<br>

an SVG (scalable vector graphic file) of each shield from
Wikipedia and then set in the Labels tab of the Layer Styling
panel set the text to your road's name as you like, then in
the Background subtab (looks like a US interstate shield)
check "Draw background", set shape to SVG and click on the
ellipsis (...) and navigate to your shield's SVG file. Then
you need to adjust the offset, shield size and the text size
and color, etc.. It takes a while but when you figure it out
be sure to save the style to an SLD or QML file so you can
reuse it. If you are using PostGIS or other database you can
save the style in the database as a default for your highway
lines.<br>
