How? It's an inventory number that the DOT uses It doesn't "belong to the way" any more than the name or the route number.

My experience is that Florida most definitely does not post any sort of inventory number. The most they'll do is mileposts, and then mainly only on freeways. As for other states, I remember Pennsylvania doing it by county (thus the number is non-unique) and most other Eastern Seaboard states using nothing. > It's data that is at least on level with survey > markers in terms of importance, and at least those have a consistent > method for tagging. I don't see anything useful in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=survey+marker&go=Go - what's the consistent method of tagging them? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
