It's established that we use relations for routes, because the components are related geo-spatially to one another (in a particular order, sometimes having particular roles such as forward/backward). If a way forms part of multiple routes, that is fine - just make it a member of multiple relations.

In Belgium and The Netherlands a network-relation is used to group together all nodes and routes of a walking network. This avoids that we have to repeat the name, operator, etc. on each route (signposted path between 2 nodes) and the nodes. m. On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 5:58 PM, Pieren wrote: >
