We're getting way distracted here. I merely suggested that if it were part of both roads (which legally it seems not to be in the UK, but according to comments legally is in similar situations in the USA), then you'd need to put it in a relationship to make the road as an entity make sense - just using ref's doesn't work well. Richard seemed to be arguing that putting the whole A11 (with or without the connecting parts from other roads) in a single relationship was "not brilliant". Surely that's what relationships are for? I still don't think it's wrong to relate the stretch of the A14 that connects the disjointed parts of the A11 together in some way, no matter what the law says, but either way, the parts of a long route should be related to each other for database tidiness and consistency reasons. It just makes sense.
