Re: [talk-au] Question - names of motorways leaving Sydney
What you have suggested seems good to me Mark. Regards, Michael H.

In OSM these all have the new route number included in the road name (e.g. name=M4 Western Motorway, rather than name=Western Motorway). The signs on these roads don’t include the route number as part of the name. Does anyone object if I rename these roads without the route number (route number will remain in the ref=* tag)?
