I was wondering about tagging roads properly. Previously it was
mentioned to use 'ref' for county roads, ie... "ref='CR 12'", but as the
road sign says "County Road 12", I was wondering about the proper way to
tag this. Should 'CR' be expanded in the 'ref' to "County Road", or
should 'ref' be 'CR

Sure, if local addresses say “123 County Road 12” and local people say “I
live on County Road 12”.
If the name is “Old County Road 12”, that would clearly be a name, not a
ref.
In my hometown, the main road was California highway 96, so

Here in Indonesia there are very few official street signs, so I go by
what is written on the signs of shops next to the street.
For example, one of the main streets nearby has shops which say:
* Jalan Kimbim No. ##
* Jalan Piramid No. ##
* Jalan Kimbim - Piramid No. ##
I believe I've seen maps

That's what I was thinking. Here we have a
"name=highway 550", which is "ref=US 550", and another one is
"name='Camp Bird R

Honestly, there is, and it's as Paul and I have described - you put the ref
in the ref tag and leave the name tag bla

I find that strange. It's no longer a ref. It won't have a "US 7" sign
anywhere on it, because it is not part of "US 7".

If it does not appear on signs but locals refer to it as such then
local_name=Old Route 7
And then add 'comment=local name is used verbally, not on signs as yet.'

Uhm. It looks pretty much like any other `highway=unclassified`. The
