Hi, A new mapper has added a name tag, name=Walton Summit Motorway to a local stretch of motorway: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4720086 . The motorway is officially unnamed like most motorways but this pretty unusual stretch is known amongst road enthusiasts by the descriptive name "Walton Summit Motorway" (see https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Walton_Summit_Motorway and http://pathetic.org.uk/secretive/walton_summit_motorway/). The new mapper isn't the first to have added this name, but it was subsequently removed.
Should we tag such unofficial names which do have some level of use in OSM. We do, after all, tag local names. If we are to include it how is best? The main name tag seems wrong, loc_name would seem closest but also probably wrong. Any help appreciated Adam
