If the only name is the route name I think it makes good sense to
put it on the local way too, that's the name of the trail.<br>

<div>I've heard the assertion that a way has no name but the
route that passes over it does many times. While this is true
in some cases, in others it is not. Where the primary purpose
of the way is not for the route, this does make sense. For
example mentioned by Jmapb where the Appalachian trail follows
an unnamed driveway or sidewalk. In these cases, the primary
purpose is a driveway or sidewalk for local use, and the
Appalachian Trail just happens to follow it as well. Here
putting the name Appalachian Trail on the way makes no sense.
However, there are also dedicated sections of trail built
first and foremost to be a part of the Appalachian Trail and
that have no other name. Omitting the name Appalachian Trail
in a case like that makes no sense to me. That section of
trail is indeed called the Appalachian Trail. The whole route
is also called the Appalachian Trail and that's ok. <br>

<div>Yes, the way name tag should be the most local
trail name. However, sometimes there is no local
trail name and the long distance route name is the
only name. In this case putting the long distance
route name on the ways also makes sense.</div>

<p>I've been doing some mapping on the Appalachian Trail
lately and this appears to be the common practice,
although the AT is dominant enough that constituent trails
sometimes lose their local names over time.</p>
<p>Some mappers will take it a little too far and tag
sections of sidewalk and driveway that the AT follows with
name=Appalachian Trail (or even name=Appalachian National
Scenic Trail... IMO this is an official_name, and probably
only belongs on the route superrelation.)</p>
<p>It's common to see ref=AT as well, which is fine on
trails (even locally named ones) and perhaps ok on the
sidewalks, but adding it to a vehicular road seems iffy.</p>
