Hi Matthew,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Regarding the way to identify the broken relations, we are using the OSM
Relation Analyzer that shows us exactly where the missing members of the
relation are. You can access this link: http://ra.osmsurround.org/index and
insert the relation ID, and after that you can see on the map the broken area,
and also you can download the area in you editor (JOSM or Potlatch). I think
this the easiest way to identify the broken relations and to repair them.
Regarding the other problem, if Highway 17A is part, or not of the Trans-Canada
Highway, I want to ask if someone in our community has a reliable source of
this issue to share it with us.
Regards,
Olivia

Hi Olivia,
I spent some fixing tags on TCH ways in Ontario in the last few weeks. Do an
overpass query on nat_name=Trans-Canada Highway in Ontario (see below).
Is it possible to build a query that shows ways with nat_name=Trans-Canada
Highway and not part of the relation, and vice-versa. It would make the task
of fixing the routes easier. Also if the query was built into OSMOSE or
another error checker then we can have some hope it is less likely to get out
of sync in the future.
Also it is not clear if Highway 17A is part of the TCH or not. Wikipedia says
yes, comments in OSM say it is not. Some research is needed here I guess.
I am willing to help in Ontario.
[out:xml][timeout:100];
{{geocodeArea:Ontario}}->.searchArea;
(
way["nat_name"](area.searchArea);
);

Hello,
Regarding our proposal for Trans-Canada Highway, we came with the Wiki page
on OSM, as we promised, where we listed all the relations that make up the
Trans-Canada Highway. Also, we inserted a status column where all of you can
see the situation of every relation, whether it is broken or not. Here is the
link to the Wiki page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Trans-Canada_Highway .
Also, we want to ask you if any of you are willing to help us fix the broken
relations and keep the wiki page updated with the current status? After we
collect some feedback from you, we want to get involved in correcting the
broken relations and we will send you an update of our progress.
As we have discussed in the other mails, we want to update Trans-Canada
Highway (ID 1307243). This will not affect the currently existing routes, but
it will have the same geometry and the following tags:
type=route
route=road
name=Trans-Canada Highway
name:fr=Route Transcanadienne - we propose
this new tag for the route name (as we seen that is used only for the way) due
to the Francophone provinces through which this new route passes.
Regards,
Olivia

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, it has been very helpful. In relation to that we
come with another proposal: to update the super relation
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1307243) from the east to west of
Canada, that includes all the routes and has the folowing tags:
type=route
route=road
name=Trans-Canada Highway
name:fr=Route Transcanadienne - we propose this new tag for the route name (as
we seen that is used only for the way) due to the Francophone provinces through
which this new route passes
Regarding the way name tag and the ref we won't make any changes. Also, for the
route type (motorway, trunk, primary, secondary, teriary) we will ask for your
advice for specific cases.
For the broken relations of Trans-Canada Highway we will create a wiki page on
OSM where we will describe each route and put a status of the relation and a
comment box for all the members from our community to see and maybe help us to
fix this problem.
We will come back with un update for the wiki page.
Regards,
Olivia Robu
