Not aware of any full list of these that is okay to use in OSM, but signs like "A50 Maintained by Connect Roads on Behalf of the Highways Agency" give this away, as does looking at signs through roadworks. > There seams to be a long list of roads tagged as Motorways without > numbers Some short sections don't have signs - is the Walton Summit Motorway http://pathetic.org.uk/secretive/walton_summit_motorway/ a motorway or glorfied sliproad - then there is the A635(M) - Signed on the ground as Motorway (i.e. under motorway regs) but without a number until the A57 joins at the otherside of the junction to become A57(M). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
