Bryan, somebody else has already added this info as a suggestion on the 'State 
Route Relation' page [1].  He was one of the first people I talked to about 
this idea, and he's a fellow Pittsburgh mapper.

Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Pennsylvania's quadrant routes

I’m from PA and I know exactly the little signs that you’re talking about.  I 
agree with everything you suggested about moving the SR #### ref to a different 
key.  It’s not significant enough to be a “ref”.
I’m not sure who “owns” the Pennsylvania wiki page: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PennsylvaniaBut you might want to add this 
recommendation there, and maybe some more guidance about classifying highways 
(like the New Jersey and New York pages have).
I’ve considered coding up a cleanup bot - this might be a nice first task for 
it.


So, I've come up with a possible replacement tag of 'ref:penndot=SR ****' [3] 
for these routes that are only signed with the white mileage signs.  With this 
tag, it still allows the quadrant routes to be added, but not to take up the 
normal 'ref' tag when it's needed for another route (there are a few normal 
state routes on quadrant routes, like PA-3 for a small area in Philadelphia, or 
US-19 Truck in Pittsburgh, or even the Allegheny County Belt System [3] in some 
areas).

What do you guys think about this?  If nobody has any problems with them, I 
think we should fix them as we see them (no bot running unless somebody with 
knowing how to run one would be willing to do it).  I just want to see a 
constant tagging scheme for them.
