Re: [Talk-ca] Trans-Canada Highway research

highway 417 should be tagged as highway 417 and not principally transcanada way as this is how it's known locally. It can be tagged in transcanada relation, but it's mainly known as the 417 On Mon, Mar 26, 2018, 7:22 AM Olivia Robu - (p), wrote: > Hello, > > The Telenav

[Talk-ca] Trans-Canada Highway research

Hello, The Telenav Map team has done some research on the status of the ways and relations of Trans-Canada Highway. Here are some conclusions from this research: * The highway is formed from 30 routes; * Every route has different names for the name tag, such as: street names, other

Re: [Talk-ca] Trans-Canada Highway research

I should clarify my comment below that in some places the "local road name" is "Trans-Canada Highway". I think it would be helpful if you split out your proposal province by province.  Provincial governments are generally responsible for highways (including the TCH), so the naming is

Re: [Talk-ca] Trans-Canada Highway research

Re: [Talk-ca] Trans-Canada Highway research

The proper name for the highways that are under the Kings Highway system (400-Series included) is "Highway xxx" or Highway xx, with the exception of the QEW. Highways signs and government data follow the same rules. The Trans-Canada as a name/deaignation is almost inconsequential in Ontario and
