[Talk-GB] A quick question for the cyclists

2010-06-30 Thread Andy Street
I was out and about at the weekend when I came across this[0] sign for a cycle route and I'm not quite sure how to tag it. I was under the impression that national routes had red backgrounds and regional/local routes had blue but it seems to be a rather large number for a national route. Can

Don't worry. There are a number of three-digit national routes appearing now. That doesn't mean that there are at least 246 national routes. It's just that the numbers have a little significance in the scheme of things, like they do with road numbers. So, in short, it's NCN. -Original

Hi Andy, You were in the same place as me this weekend more or less!!! I recognise that. I walked from Andover to Winchester on Sunday afternoon and walked a small section of this cycle track near the Mayfly at Fullerton. You weren't in the area then? I'd just suggest ncn_ref=246. I think,

It looks like 3 digit NCN national route references are replacing the two-digit, per-region NCN regional routes. From http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system For the

Hi Near where I live there's a small stretch (about 100m) of the roadside verge that has signs on it saying that it's a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It's only on one side of the road, and is about 0.5m wide for most of its length, widening to about 2m near one end. Looking in the Wiki

Clear as mud. I think what you are saying is that it is a regional route, and should therefore be an rcn, but that it will be nationally distinctive number, so you could call it an ncn. I'd probably call it an ncn, since the distinction between regional and national routes is a bit arbitrary, and

Apologies for thread breakage - the otherwise excellent Nabble has fallen over. All white-on-red numbered routes are National Routes and should be tagged with ncn_ref (or the relation equivalent). This includes all the new three-figure routes. White-on-blue are Regional Routes. These are being
