My idea was to just use role=north/east/south/west for the regularly signposted sections and role=north/east/south/west role:signed=no for the hidden sections. It feels contrived but I also don't see a much better solution in terms of striking a balance between keeping relation complexity in check and information redundancy / ease of maintenance. > > If you don't like the "|" separating the "role = north|unsigned", maybe use > the ";" or "," instead? I could see the ";" working just as good as the > "|". I just want to follow whatever practice is most common for more specific information related to a tag, and thinking of the lanes and access tagging systems I thought the role:signed approach would make the most sense. > > I just want to find a solution to keep the route "all in one piece" instead > of having to have two separate relations for it's signed segment and one > covering the entire route with the "unsigned_ref" tag.
