Not bad! Does this mean that any new relations would automatically be added to the page (like one for the new I-2 in TX when it's posted this year)? Also, thanks to that new Interstate page, I noticed right away that the I-495 (DE) relation's ref tags weren't correct (it had ref=I 495 (DE)).

I get that you say that keeping wiki pages up to date with the status of route relations is a pain, but I do hope that this new form of tagging routes will get explained on the wiki. The wiki is really useful (even with experienced mappers like me) as documentation for how to use tags, and it’s
