In general I think it is common that a highway has a different name
when it goes through a town. Here the route continues, and will
often be signposted with the route number.
So best to use the route number to define a route when it exists, rather
than a road name 'route', yes?
No. The route is still the Princes Highway as per here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Route_Numbers
I'm not sure if that is the case for every road in this relation though.
The Princes Hwy used to run through the town centre as the main road.
The through route gets diverted around town to different road. Some
time later the road running through centre of town gets assigned a
different name (or made into pedestrian mall, one way, etc). The
Princes Hwy road name no longer exists. It is apparent where the
through route is, tagged with the route number. When the name and
topology of the road has changed, I don't know how you can definitively
tell where this "Princes Highway Route", should go, it is fairly arbitrary.
Then the new route should be added to the relation and the old route
ways removed.
As Steve pointed out the relation should one from Adelaide to Sydney as
that's where the Princes Highway runs although many different road names
make up that highway. Just as many different road names make up the
route relation for highway 1.
