Road network values

Any road with shield_text includes a network property with a value like AA:bcdef, where AA is ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, followed by the : separator, and bcdef category value, which either indicates the "region" (state or province) or "level" of the road network. There are exceptions to this for transnational networks like e-road. In some cases, such as the United States and Canada, an additional modifier is appended to indicate Truck and other alternate routes (see the note below), or further network disambiguation.

When a network value can't be determined from the upstream data source, we calculate where the road is located and provide the relevant ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code as the network value.
