I agree very, very strongly that unsignposted C-road numbers (or U, or D, or E, or whatever) should not be placed in the ref tag. It breaks people's expectations of OSM data (and it's not a harmless breakage - any turn-by-turn router which prefers refs over names will give out unfollowable directions). When Paul says > However, isn't the issue more about the renderers and routing > rules knowing that C-number roads are never signposted? then I see his point, but I don't believe it's realistic for us to demand that this UK-specific rule is implemented in every worldwide renderer and router. Better, and just as easy, to use another tag. Personally I use admin_ref but would be just as happy with official:ref. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Refs-on-Tertiary-Unclassifed-Roads-in-Highland-tp5753484p5753518.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
