This is the layer for labelling the highways. Only highways that are named name=* and are long enough to place text upon appear. The roads are stitched together if they contain the same name to have better label placement than having many small linestrings. For motorways you should use the ref field to label them while for other roads you should use name.

Fields

name

The name of the highway or road.

ref

Name value of the motorway or its network.

ref_length

Length of the ref field. Useful for having a shield icon as background for labeling motorways.
