Re: [talk-au] Alphanumeric references in NSW

2013-05-02 Thread Ben Kelley
Hi.

I have seen a few A15 signs on the New England Highway, but there are still
quite a few 43 and 15 signs along the route. The ground can still be a bit
confusing.

 I've noticed a few people are changing the references in NSW to the

 the B73, the others still retain their existing signage - with perhaps an
 uncovered sign here and there.  I traced the

 I'd suggest we can use the wiki to coordinate as these references
 change?   That way we can ensure the entire route is renamed at once,

 P.S. Of course there have been a few routes (M7, A31/M31 approaching
 Albury) that have been this way for a while, and aren't at issue here.

Agreed.

I could see a strict on-the-grounder changing the ref for each road
section :-)

I've noticed Google Maps is using the A36 now for the Princes Hwy, but I've
only seen one sign at Rockdale, so I still think it is too early to change
the route in OSM, but I'm open to be convinced.

But I think using the wiki to coordinate when a particular route has been
referenced, and then we use old_ref to capture the previous route
referencing.  Currently when I use skobbler to do navigation its ugly
moving back and forth in references between the same road.
