Case 2. Very occasionally, there will be more than one street name
shown, usually when the ramp ends at or near a point where a street
changes name. Use semicolons to place multiple values in the exit_to and

I just thought I would throw this out there so this can be settled once and for
all. Which ref tag setup do you think should be used for State Highways on
ways (not relations)? PA-44 or 44. The reason I'm asking is because I've
seen several people put the state abbreviation in the ref field

There's a third way: use the correct abbreviation. So Florida, if a

The SR naming leads to ambiguity as to which state's route number is
being referenced.
Just like name=Main Street leads to ambiguity as to which city's main

I understand the overlap between 20 and 42, but here the solution is to

Shouldn't the ref tag be an unambiguous reference to a given road in a

i know NE2 likes to make the prefix go away for state ref tags
For Florida, yes, since that's the statewide standard. For other states,
I usually don't tag without a prefix. I certainly don't make it go
away en masse.

Yeah... consensus would be great but seems to be rather elusive.
Here is a case in point. Another mapper has been tagging ways on
Kansas highways as K-xx which is how people usually pronounce it.

Kane and DuPage counties use an arcane system based on the number of miles
