Incidentally, another case for discussion: Someone a while ago added "the Golden Trail" to OSM: marking a huge series of roads from near Adelaide to Ballarat (or Castlemaine - I forget) with a route relation and "rcn_ref=The Golden Trail". There was never going to be any "on the ground" signage or painting, but at the time at least there was a website and plans for brochures etc. So I was a bit ambivalent about it. Since then, the website has gone, and the whole concept seems to have disappeared, so I've been progressively removing them. Still a fair chunk remains: http://osm.org/go/uGTLrE?layers=C I assume we're all agreed that we wouldn't want this kind of thing in OSM? What if there was good external documentation? What if there were signs but no bike lanes? Steve
