Asking for thoughts & opinions... While some counties just attach a number to a pole (e.g., many counties in Georgia), there are some that put up signs saying "CR 123" (Jasper County, Mississippi) for unnamed county roads. However, Clarke County, Mississippi signs (with shiny new green-signs-on-a-stick) county roads as "Clarke Co. 123". What are everyone's thoughts on how to name these roads in OSM for Clarke County? We can just leave the name field blank and use ref=CR 123, we can do the ref tag and also include name=County Road 123, or we can do ref=CR 123 and name=Clarke County 123. Or even ref=CR 123, name=Clarke County 123, alt_name=County Road 123. Or swap the name= and alt_name= values.
Keep in mind that a lot of county roads in OSM already have name=County Road 123 from a bulk import many moons ago. Clarke County, MS, example: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/l9YS7slPwIDc-3Qw8IQaqg Jasper County, MS, example: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/_mZvHi1tX9ddTJKS5DLiFg --jack
