this reminds me of a problem with OSM road numbers - inconsistency viewing the Sturt Highway which goes through three states A20, 20, NH20, 20, A20, NH20 apparently randomly and not related to where the state borders are NH20 particularly bothers me. Nowhere on the Sturt is there a current sign which says NH20. It's 20 or A20 according to the state boundaries. I'm sure others can point out great inconsistencies with other highways. Can we decide what labels to put on the roads? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
