Just as with ordinary road signs in the UK, the number in brackets means this is the way to route N rather than being route N itself.

[Talk-GB] NCN 28?
Hi all, Is anyone able to verify the existence or otherwise of NCN 28 from Exeter to Dartmoor, as shown on OSM right now? It's been mapped from the DfT cycling data, but when cycling in Devon last week, I didn't see any signs of it when I'd have expected to do so. The Sustrans mapping shows it as following a completely different route (and still not open). I'm tempted to think this is a mistake in the DfT data, but would welcome any on-the-ground reports! cheers Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Ashamed to say I am not at all familiar with NCN 28 despite the low zoom map on Sustrans site showing it coming within a couple of hundred metres of my house. I assume the open section they are talking about on their website is the new path and bridge around the back of Newton Abbot racecourse which I have ridden a couple of times and does I think have some NCN signage which must be 28. I will check this next time I am up there unless someone else has confirmed it already. The South Devon Link Road construction gives rise to new cycle paths from Newton Abbot down to Torquay which this document: http://www.devon.gov.uk/ldfpaper-newtonabbot.pdf mentions as being part of NCN 28. Those paths will be finished around the end of next year. They have recently started on the groundworks so there is nothing to see as yet. Torbay Council are working on some cycle paths in Paignton right now which might become part of this but I haven't seen any signage around as yet. I think the work has been held up a bit due to the poor weather of late. Kevin (user: devonshire) ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Seems as if the new path is signed as route 2 per this timely twitter post, https://twitter.com/CycleDevon/status/321614115296657408/photo/1 Route 28 seems to run along the Templer Way cycle path but I don't recall seeing any specific signage along there.

Interesting - thanks. That tallies with the Sustrans website and suggests that the DfT-sourced alignment in OSM right now is wrong (probably an old proposed route). I'll scout around to see if there's any other documentation that supports the DfT route, but assuming not, will remove the ncn_ref tags in the next few days. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/NCN-28-tp5756322p5756393.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
