Hi, This sounds similar to the Munda Biddi and Bibblimum 1000km trails (WA) and 900km Mawson Trail (SA), both of which use a collection of existing roads/paths/trails along with some purpose built link sections.
Think about Donnelly River Village. South of the town the Munda Biddi is on Jeffries Road, North is on Willow Springs Road and it makes far more sense to have these local names rather than having it tagged as the Munda Biddi. The Munda Biddi and Bibblimum both use Jefferies track for a short section so we could have three tracks on top of each other. This occurs again and again with the local Waterous loop trail. The issues are we don't know which will render first or any other side effects and that if I select the top one to edit to change an attribute then the editor may not be aware of the other two underneath potentially. If we continue this line, then is there a problem with adding a separate road called Old Belgrave Road under Belgrave-Ferny Creek Rd and under Terrys Avenue, it gets unwieldy very quickly/.
