Description

The road vector information should allow for the data necessary to allow someone to click a feature and be provided additional context.

At the very least, each US highway should have information that can take you to the corresponding wikipedia page.

ex: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/21775289 US:US=6 -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_6

This Mapbox GLJS tutorial is a good starting point https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/filter-features-within-map-view/
