I'm also in favor of this change. It's a route number, so it only should be in the ref tag. This will make Forest service roads more consistent with other numbered routes. Even though most, if not all, Forest service roads don't have a name but just a number, I still am in favor of this. I was a bit surprised that the wiki was saying to keep the road number in the name.
In fact, the names that most of these forest service roads have don't even match common parlance. Most people refer to them as "Forest Service Road XX" whereas the TIGER import called them "National Forest Development Road XX," which might be the official name, but not the most common name. -Evin On Wed, Jul 29, 2020, 6:47 AM Mike Thompson <miketh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, Jul 28, 2020 at 1:33 PM Paul Johnson <ba...@ursamundi.org> wrote: > >> >> >> Could we get the US Road Tagging page updated to reflect common name >> practice instead of encouraging the duplication of the ref in the name?
