Hi Pierre, Most bridges here in the Philippines have names no matter how small. You can usually spot their name on the guard rail or on a small sign just before the bridge. These names are almost always accompanied by the maximum load the bridge can handle (which is tagged using maxweight=*) and sometimes with the distance from the island's zero-kilometer marker (I have no idea how to tag these. Maybe distance=*?).
Some examples: http://www.philippinesdailyphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bukidnon-atugan-bridge.jpg http://www.zamboanga.com/z/images/0/09/Calapan_Bridge,_Calapan,_Kabasalan,_Zamboanga_Sibugay,_Philippines.JPG http://static.rappler.com/images/tullahan-bridge-screengrab-20130708.jpg Regards, Eugene On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 1:59 AM, Pierre Béland <[email protected]> wrote: > Eugene, > > I expect that only the major bridges have name.
