I think the interns at TriMet added the ref= tag to the county roads. Paul's right, Yamhill, Multnomah, Marion, Clackamas and Washington counties don't put sign county reference numbers; I figured it was a side effect of what renderer chooses to draw. I had no idea there was an unsigned_ref= tag. (Maybe someday we'll get a county-specific renderer instead of handling that at the tagging level.) That said, I'm not planning on volunteering to switch the tags from ref= to unsigned_ref=. Maybe someday. -Dion _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
