Longwood Lane when driving a car along it looks pretty much like a normal highway, although it is rather narrow. It has an asphalt surface, and when turning in from the north, or south there is nothing to show there is anything special about this road at all from a vehicles point of view.

However at the north end there is a (newly erected) public footpath sign showing a footpath ref of B64, pointing straight down this road, and the definitive map shows this as a footpath.

Currently I've tagged this way as follows:

highway = unclassified
designation = public_footpath
ref = B64
name =  Longwood Lane

The "problem" is that the map now displays the "ref", as if it were a road ref, whilst no other footpath refs get shown

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.664715&lon=-1.168427&zoom=15&layers=M . (see laso B33a and NC45a to the WNW of B64)

Is this:

a) Not a problem at all;
b) simply a problem for the rendering, and no change to the tagging is required;
c) a possible problem with the tagging?
