Good job. :-) Local mapping and checking multiple sources is a good way to do it. > I have now come to a stretch of trail that is also a road.

Where a trail shares another bit of infrastructure, like a road, I'd probably tag the road sections first, in a way that would be expected for the road. Then I'd split the way(s) where the trail joins and leaves the road(s). I would not change the tagging of the road ways. I would add the road ways between the trail entry and exit to the trail route relation. I find that process to be a simple way to tag the aspects of the way (surface=asphalt, lanes=2, oneway=yes, etc.) and the aspects of the route name="Trans Canada Trail", horse=yes, bicycle=yes, etc. Does that help?
