Re: [Talk-ca] Road route relations: network tag

[Martijn van Exel]

Hm. Paul noted something similar. It does not sound like there is a clear
consensus about how networks should be tagged then. Perhaps more people can
weigh in and argue for the one or the other notation.

At least the tagging is consistent now, and would be easy to change in bulk
if the outcome is that underscore notation is preferred. The last thing I
would want to do is to impose a convention. The 'colon notation' is in use
in the U.S. and it made a lot of sense there. For what it's worth, it is
used by Scout to interpret numbered routes. I thought OSMAND supported it
too in the same notation, but I am not certain.

Well, it was here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route#Road_routes

roadca_transcanada  Canadian Trans-Canada highways
roadca_on_primary   Ontario primary highways

so now the docs are out of whack with reality.

The colon notation does not seem to be universally accepted. It's not
widely used in the UK or Germany, as far as I can see. The only road
networks I can see in the UK are either scenic routes, with no obvious
hierarchy, or E routes, which if the current national madness prevails,
will have to disappear in the next couple of years for other reasons …

 Hi all,

 My mapping colleagues (not me, I only map in my spare time :)) noted
 that there are some irregular network tags on highways in Canada. The usual
 hierarchical notation[1] is in place in many relations, but we encountered
 deviations from that where instead of the colon separator an underscore is
 used, so for example instead of CA:ON we see ca_on, and some variations on
 that.

 We are happy to (help) clean that up but didn't want to do so without
 consulting you. Is there some local convention that we are unaware of? Can
 we provide a dump of the affected relation IDs so we can fix them together?
 It's about 400 relations in total, mostly in Ontario.

 - it has a Canada example!
