Also an optional wikipedia link.
There does seem to be some debate about county roads. I would probably
throw my vote in with something like "network=US:KS:Riley"
The county name needs to be in there, otherwise you can't tell two
county roads apart which use the same number. (Analogously, you
wouldn't put US:STATE... how would you know which state?)
A relation with the boundary relation. This could be done with US:STATE
as well, but I think the use of the postal abbreviation for states is
well-established while this is not the case for counties.
You could also add a link to an SVG icon for the shield rendering into
the county boundary relation, so it would only be need to be changed in
once place. (I know linking to such things is a little iffy though)
I don't see any advantage to abbreviating the county name... that just
seems like more effort for mappers, with no real payback. (I certainly
don't know abbreviations for all 159 counties in Georgia.)
+1.
However, there are many stretches of road that are designated "Col. John
Q Public Memorial Highway" or something like that. It only applies to
part of the route (the whole route through a state, or maybe just a
bridge or an intersection). In that case, it belongs on the ways, not
the route.
Yup, or on another route relation.
