Cycleway crossing At the risk of opening this discussion too far, here is the way I handle exactly this situation. https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id#map=21/45.14100/-93.38143 Ignore any slight mis-alignment between aerial photos and the location of the nodes and ways. I used Mapbox

It seems to me that having a relationship is absolutely appropriate and that it should have the name of entire trail/route, just as you have done. It also seems to me that having a name on individual segments (the local name) is also appropriate. I don't think this is inconsistent and in fact,
