There's been no standard way of tagging state highways since before I joined at the beginning of this year. A few months ago I talked to http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/blackadder about getting a consensus on one method, and the crux of the response was "If someone tags something one way and someone else tags the same type of object differently then that's fine.". If we can get consensus on one method, I'm all for it. But the standardization should be done in a semi-automated way to avoid errors. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
