IMHO the ref-tag describes the reference, not a sign, therefore to tag them it doesn't matter if the reference numbers are displayed laterally on signs or there is another source of getting them. Still if you say that those numbers (reference routes) are different from what we usually tag into reference, maybe a variant tag is the best. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
