I am not sure how route relations would solve the consistency problem. 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.
