Re: [Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US & State highways.

Peter, it would just be for the relations. It would stay the current status-quo for the ways using at all times the "ref & unsigned_ref" tags (see I-394 example below). In your example with I-394 and US-12, if you look at the way's tags [1], you can see that US 12 is still mentioned, but under

Re: [Talk-us] [josm-dev] Relation editor support for north/south and east/west similar to forward/backward

Other examples of weird route designators include Arizona's "Loop 101" and "Loop 202" freeways in Maricopa County (Greater Phoenix). They are state highways, 100% freeways (probably), one around metro PHX and the other around the East Valley (Tempe/Mesa etc.). Like James I think that the route de

Martijn I'm good with having a separate discussion of milepoints/*pointes kilometriques, *sure. I'll probably wait a week or two until a consensus emerges on posted directionality, as you suggest. Peter On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 10:37 AM, Martijn van Exel wrote: > Peter, > I think we should se

Re: [Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US & State highways.

James, I have a question about this, though it all sounds good to me in principle. Is your proposal just about the relations? What would we do on the refs of the ways? For example, on I-394 in Minneapolis and western suburbs, a mapper has left off US 12 because it is at least partly unsigned. S
