[AWIPS #AKV-251431]: plotting roads using metpy or python-awips

Hi there,

Thank you for posting that image so I could see it.
I still think what you're seeing is what I'm anticipating.  For some reason, it 
seems like the state
routes are broken into several different references (and shapes) in our 
database.  Even that highway 
32 that we see running to the North-Northeast just east of CIC, I can find two 
references for "Deer
Creek Hwy" and then mannnny references for "SR 32" in our database.

Have you tried loading all the shapes that come back from the mapdata.highways 
database (by not adding
any filter for the "hwy_type")?

Does that bring back too many roads, I assume?
