my real problem is that the labelling is inconsistent. for example the Sturt in Mildura goes A20 NH20 A20 in a short distance. I don't agree with putting NR20 or NH20 because that isn't what is on a sign, but that's not the main point... I'd like the labels to be the same for the section of the road in a single State. I note that someone labelled the Western end of the Mid Western highway at Hay with NR24 or summat similar, but the sign at Hay says B64 - exactly as this sign http://ozroads.com.au/NSW/Special/MAB/223.jpg shows. That photograph was taken in Dec, and the signs looked the same in May when I last went there to work for a few days. While the inconsistency of the NSW RTA is a hurdle in getting correct route designations, mappers need to to record what is there on the ground / signs. Putting NR24 at that point strongly suggests a copyright violation - that someone has got this info from a copyright source. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
