When using a road shield in the turn instruction override menu, all road shields have a direction field attached to them that is meant to be used for cardinal directions (north, west, ...). It is my understanding that we are expected not to add city names here, but to add a free text field next to the road shield instead. This is not immediately clear for editors, though.

I would therefore like to propose to make it possible to remove the direction field for certain road shields. This sort of setting is probably best stored at the road shield level instead of the country level, as some countries might want to enable/disable this only for some road shields.

Ideally, this gets added as a flag to the road shield object. That flag would only be used by the WME to decide whether it should show the field. If a direction text is already set for a road shield that shouldn't have a direction text (added before this change), the field should be visible with this text, so the community can clean up these instances. It shouldn't be too hard for us to highlight such turns with a script or maybe retrieve a list of turns from our community manager.
