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

Hi there,

> Ah...I see, I think you are correct. Here is with no filter:

> So, yes, a bit too many roads there and takes a long time to process.
> Thanks so much for digging into this!

There *may* be one more thing we could attempt to improve the situation. Two 
quick questions:

1.) Have you tried using the "U" flag for the filter?  Does that produce a good 
density of 
roads, or do you specifically want the state routes?
2.) Are you often doing this for more than just this geographic area?

If you are set on using state routes, and you're not doing this for other 
areas, could you
change this line:

intrste_request.addIdentifier('hwy_type', 'U') 

to:

intrste_request.addIdentifier('hwy_type2', 'U')

Which will purposely cause it to fail, and then send me the exact error output, 
so I can look
into one more option?

Thanks!
