Wasn't there a project a while back to add local highway shield symbols to OpenStreetMap? What happened to that? (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if this should be added to osm. E.g. OrganicMaps adds local subway icons from outside osm, another renderer could just pair the country and highway level to an external list of icons the same way.

For reference here is the svg files in OrganicMaps source, just scroll down to the ones starting with subway-: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/tree/master/data/styles/clear/style-clear/symbols
