More than once in the past, users have attempted to “name” highways in Colorado as the “CanAm Highway”, the “Pan-American Highway”, the “Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway” and the “Theodore Roosevelt International Highway”, to name a few. There are other honorary/memorial highway designations in the area.
In order to satisfy persons who want to map these and other memorial highways that aren’t actually named “on the ground” here, I’m thinking relations might be created. This way, when this situation undoubtedly comes up again, I can point the user to the relation and more easily resolve any conflicts.
Any suggestions as to the relation template I should use? I looked at the interstate highway relation wiki and it doesn’t seem to be quite right. For example, it requires a ref - number only.
I suppose, where appropriate, a different relation should be created for each state the memorial highway passes through? Which network relation or super relation should these memorial route relations be tied into?
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks :)
