It's still a series of non-contiguous sections that is named, these sections belong as part of a route. > I'm sure people say they are going to drive the Princes Highway from Sydney > to Melbourne, but you can never pin it down to actual set of roads.

The majority of the route, distance wise, would still exist as it has for a long time. > As I said, I'll leave it be, but the chance that this will be developed into > something meaningful, is zip. That's a very subjective thing to say, you claim it has no value, others have obviously disagreed, the main thing to take into account is what actual harm does it do to the map to exist as a relation, I say none, so far your suggested examples of harm are imho wrong also since the way should take precedence over any relation, this way you can give streets local names and the route sharing the same physical way can be shown where there no longer is a local route needing to be shown. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
