I encountered `道路標識` (`どうろひょしき`) during my studies today. Google Translate
shows romaji `dōrohyōji`. However, based on the hiragana alone, I was
expecting to see `dōrohyōshiki`.

Why is `しき` romanized as `ji` instead of `shiki`? Are there different
standards of romanization being used here?

question
rōmaji
Romaji and Hiragana seem to disagree
They are different things, but very similar. 道路標識 dōrohyōshiki is road signs.
道路(路面)標示 dōrohyōji is road markings.

Google doesn't know the difference.
