If they're calling it A37 then they're not calling it a motorway.

Just like large parts of A31 and A1? :-)

Osmosis does most of the heavy lifting.  It will filter planet files by 
just about anything.


There is also a perl script Frederik Ramm wrote (in svn) that calculates 
way distances.


I'd like to say I wrote some kind of gee-whiz script, but I just threw 
the right arguments and scripts in a pipeline.

Interested to know how and what tools you use to extract data for this type of

I just looked to see what Google and Whereis do.

Whereis calls the Hume Highway the M31 throughout its length in NSW.  
Many of the actual 'A' sections are coloured as motorway.


Google calls it the A31 to the border where it is actually the M31, but 
only seems to colour the actual RMS 'M' sections as motorways (even 
though it has the labelling wrong).


I'd like to indicate freeway class sections as motorways, however, I can 
see the argument to just objectively use the RMS classifications.  Will 
save edit wars down the track to just have one easy rule.

Could you just ask the relevant state authority?
