Have you talked to the people who are in charge of the road? Maybe they are friends of OSM, as opposed to the Ordnance Survey. Maybe we have a common enemy in the OS? ---- In Sweden, the parenthesis is not used on road signs but instead a dotted line around the road number. This is national road 58, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:1_5_4_2.svg And this is a road leading towards road 58, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:1_5_4_4.svg ---- Still, there is at least near Kvarntorp some confusion of whether road 51 goes north to Örebro or east towards E20 south of Kumla. Both roads carry signs 51 without any dotted line. But according to Wikipedia, the road north is a branch named 51.01, http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riksv%C3%A4g_51 Eniro, a popular Swedish map site, shows all three roads as 51, http://kartor.eniro.se/query?&what=map_adr&mop=aq&mapstate=6;15.282434534059728;59.133863881839446;s;15.248667763412294;59.14890027267818;15.316133905963355;59.118827491000715;1001;842&mapcomp=;;;;;;;;;;;;;;0;0;;;;0&stq=0 Google Maps says 51 goes east-west only, not north, http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=59.13421,15.289536&spn=0.033025,0.090637&z=14 Multimap agrees with Google, http://www.multimap.com/maps/#t=l&map=59.13084,15.28539|14|4&loc=SE:58.66117:15.18308 Point in case is that Örebro (north) is the major city, and people from there "know" that road 51 starts in their town. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
