</span>I also agrees with Paul. This proposal can be useful in some situations, but not all networks are such a mess. Here, in France, apart from E-roads,, there are virtually no road with several refs, and, AFAIK, that's the same for nearby countries. Besides, maintaining such a long relation can quickly become a nightmare, so I don't think it would really be useful in most situations, even if I understand it could be useful in some situations, like the USA networks you described. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Toby's solution of favoring the relations over the way value of ref=* would cover this.</div></div></div></div>
