Re: [talk-au] Missing Motorway names

[Richard Colless]

No, it's called the M5 motorway from where it starts near the airport right through to a point a few kilometres SW of Liverpool. There are signs saying "M5 motorway" right along this section, and at the end of the motorway there is a sign that says "Thank you for travelling on the M5". At that point, its designation changes to F5 - F for Freeway, meaning no toll. The section east of King Georges Rd is referred to as "M5 East", but only for traffic reports. It was opened many years after the original M5. None of the signage includes the "East" descriptor. The M4 motorway has just ceased to be a toll road (a few weeks ago), but as far as I know, there are no plans to change its numerical description. Richard.

Naming is only done via relations, which I'm not familiar with, and I'm not going to alter. Is it OK to simply add a "name=M5" to all sections of the motorway? I also looked at I don't think this is correct, I thought it was called the South West Motorway? I thought only the section east of King Goerges Rd had M5 in the name?
