NCN and RCN pages would be handy as well.
I agree, however....
Paul, as you know from being a contributor to this WikiProject, in
the USA, we might consider that there already is what effectively
amounts to an "NCN" (national cycleway network) page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_U.S._Bicycle_Route_System
This lists both Approved and Proposed USBRs in table format
(respectively) along with BrowseRelation entries for each of them:
roughly speaking, a couple dozen of "these" and a couple of dozen of
"those." Furthermore, this wiki endeavors to keep the status of
changes in the USBRS itself exactly updated with these tables, making
this wiki not only a comprehensive listing, but a "status report" of
how well OSM tracks its "absorption" of the USBRS as a national
network (of route relations).
Now, "RCN" (regional/state cycleway networks) as an organized table
in OSM? Well, there are several such statewide tables (like
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ohio/Route_relations/Bicycle_routes,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/North_Carolina/Bike_Routes,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_York/Bike_Routes and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Illinois/Bike_Routes) but I do
not believe there is a comprehensive table that lists these for each
state. I believe that each state which has statewide bicycle routes
(as these four do) having its own wiki, with its own table, listing
its own rcn relations is a good model to continue to follow.
Although I DO wish that more states which have rcns would create/have
their own pages (are you listening, Georgia and Delaware, for
example)?!
Also, Paul, thanks for all the OSM editing you have done over the years.
