I don't understand the logic of doing this?
Surely we map for what is there on the ground, not how it renders?
The vast majority of 'C roads aren't signed on the ground. There's a
feeling that those that are maybe old signs & when upgraded won't have
the ref.
If a road
has a reference number or a name, surely it is up to the render if it should
show that information or not, not how we tag it in the database?
True. Amalgamating all the variations of C refs to one unique tag
provides an easy solution for the renderer to make that decision.
In my particular area I have people "helicopting in" to remove the C and U
numbers off the roads, just because they don't like the way it renders! But
the fact is that none of the rural roads have signs giving the name, so just
because my local council can't agree on putting up signs on the road I live
on, it shouldn't have a name on OSM?
The 'refs' are numerical numbers not the name. They aren't being removed
from the database. The general belief is if they're not signed on the
ground they shouldn't be rendered on the 'standard' map.
It should be noted 'your' area does not have an air exclusion zone.
