Hi,
I'm specifically talking of hiking paths.
------------------------------------
Highways I think are already mapped correctly ... digging one out now ..
The Great Western Highway exists as a route of 682 members
Most of the members carry the same name as the route. But some carry
other names
Such as;
Way: Stewart Street (176174126) "alt_name"="Great Western Highway"
Way: Durham Street (228061611) "alt_name"="Great Western Highway"
Way: Sydney Road (375627444) "alt_name"="Great Western Highway"
The DCS Base Map agrees in that 'Great Western Highway' does not
appear in these sections but the name now appearing in OSM is used.
I checked Coles Express Bathurst - their address is given as Durham
Street not Great Western Highway ... so Durhams Street is used in
preference to Great Western Highway here.

Hi Warin
I would expect the highest order entity, the longest or biggest
entity, to be the primary name. For example the Hume Highway will
include a lot of High Streets, Station Streets or Main streets of
country towns. In my mind its first the Hume Highway and secondly High
Street wherever. I havent given it a lot of thought, its just how it
feels.

HI,
On some paths route signs have been used to 'name' the path.
One example is the 'Great North Walk', a Sydney to Newcastle walking
route, where many of the paths existed before the route was created. I
think this is a combination of mistaking the route signage as the track
name and route relations not rendering.
In the Blue Mountains some paths have more than one OSM way - each with
different 'name', at least some of these are routes that may, I repeat
may, not be the true path name.
Example
Way 1199677262 - 'Grand Clifftop Walk'
Way 22761613 - 'Overcliff Track' Note NPWS route 'Overcliff-Undercliff
track' .. the over cliff track is mapped separately in OSM. A route
relation could be made with both these tracks and a website link..
--------------------------
In the Blue Mts where there are overlayed ways and one of them is a
route I think it would be best to remove that way and include the
remaining way in a route relation .. I think most of this is the 'Great
Cliff Top Walk' route and that would then remove the double overlayed
ways. .
Thoughts/comments ???
