Is the ramp two sections??

For me (with my style), ramps do work with the name of the next street 
segment behind. Not sure what happens if the ramp is several sections (I 
suppose the first real street behind should be used).
0x09 needs to be used! Doublecheck if that type is really used. Other 
types wont work (not so sure about 0x08, which might work too).
