The route relation is providing a different layer of information that is needed. In addition, you can see that a route in France (we use them) can be quite different in different locations. One of the national road that I used regularly in France (N154) is very interesting as you go from what you would consider to just a secondary road to a primary road and back to a secondary road in some locations. The route is giving us some consistency for the location of the entire route, but that is it.
