I’m not quite sure how to resolve this.
There is a relation
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7107501#map=5/-24.173/134.723 for
the World Solar Challenge that runs from Darwin to Adelaide.
It is a relation tagged as highway=raceway
I would delete the tag 'highway=raceway' ... not good.
This is now propagating on to assorted apps as well as the slippy map
and I’m finding it confusing.
I’m not sure if it should be
- deleted as it is not “on the ground” and verifiable
- made into a “ref” tag, like a highway alternative name, e.g A1, B2, C3
- something else.
It is a route and suitable as a relation. I would tend to encourage the
use of OSM, rather than see them go to gxxxle ...
I do find it a bit odd though as in the parts through Adelaide there
is no signage, so it is more of an administrative feature like a
suburb boundary but even less so. It only has use once a year and it
is more the route of an event. I see the various odd shaped vehicles
go by, but the road is not closed, it is more a cavalcade of vehicles
passing along normal highways, subject to normal highway rules
Thoughts, suggestions?
Perhaps
route=solar_challenge ? rather than route=raceway ...
opening_hours="October to December" might be a reasonable addition.
They do have similar events elsewhere ... I would like to see them use
OSM too.
I have raised this on the tagging group to see if they have any
'international' ideas.
