Because some states officially designate the road as "SR-26", for instance. There are also county roads, "CR-1963", for instance. If we eliminate the prefix then we lose information. I haven't seen anywhere in Utah where removing the prefix would cause ambiguity, but I haven't been looking around the state for such instances. - Val - _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
