I have a dataset of roads I am displaying in Arcgis Pro. I would like to label the roads, however, obviously there are large numbers of them so they do not display clearly and often overlap. I would like to create a buffer around the labels to reduce the amount being shown, something you could easily do in Arcmap.

I have found the buffer option in ArcGIS Pro however it is now limited to a 50% of the size of the label.

Is there anyway to increase the buffer of labels beyond this size?

Ultimately, I am trying to only display some road names (I'm not fussed on which ones get displayed) in a neat and legible manner for a map.
