Can we not have both?
(1) A relation which contains all the ways that define a road according
to its official designation, whether a single road, or several disjoint
pieces.
and
(2) A relation for that road's notional "route", that contains the
relation above *plus* the (usually obvious) connecting bits that give
you a single, long distance route from A to B.
Different people will find the two options useful. Or am I missing
something here?
