Out of interest, are these regional routes in Kent formally part of the National Cycle Network, or some other regional network? On the sign posts, does it say "NCN 17" or have 17 in white on a red background, ala the NCRs? For instance, the London Cycle Network is completely independent of the National Cycle network, and so have different logos, numbering and so on. I'd really prefer to break the different networks into different tags somehow, as it's much easier to treat them separately without having to have fuzzy text parsing of the values. Same way we have highway=secondary instead of just parsing the reference number to try and match B roads.
