After / if a generalized shield solution is in place, a 25 placed on an 'Interstate' shield is quite descriptive. It avoids the need for the renderer or consumer to parse out the number. > Third, I consider a reference containing just the number to be > incomplete. IMHO, the ref tag should contain the complete designation > of a piece of highway. This also makes it easier to search for this. To search, just search for both the network and route tags. It's just as though the information was placed in separate database columns. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
