Hi all,
To my understanding our tagging-standard for State Highways is
[STATE]
[NUMBER]
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#State_Highways
User NE[2|3] is now changing all State Highway ref-tags in
arkansastalk...@openstreetmap.org
from AR ## to Hwy ##
Examples:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.4239&lon=-93.0561&zoom=13&layers=M
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?
lat=34.015&lon=-93.4598&zoom=13&layers=M
Hi Henk!
Getting ready for your road trip to SotM, I see. ;-)
What the local and state authorities call a road is interesting but
fails to consider our broader, global naming concerns.
network= describes the highway network
ref= distinct reference within that network
In this case network="US_AR_AR" Historically, network="US:AR:AR" has
been used but _ is better.
ref="123" is correct.
I agree with putting just the number there.
Let the renderers handle whatever abbreviations and whatnot.
Cheers,
Katie
ref="Hwy 123" is incorrect. The "Hwy" portion of "Hwy ##" adds no
actionable information for OpenStreetMap. "##" is better.
ref="AR 123" is incorrect. AR duplicates information from the
network tag.
ref="SR 123" is incorrect. SR is ambiguous and duplicates information
from the network tag.
Best regards,
Richard
