Hi Beth, Roles apply to the members of relation (which are almost always ways), not the relation itself, if that helps.
In theory a route such as this should be mapped as a parent route_master relation with all variations of that route as child relations. In practice this is somewhat rare: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route_master I assume you're looking at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/12145 ?
