I think this inconsistency is bad for OSM.<br>
<br>
Many ways don't have names, even if they have routes along them.
They are just footpaths, & tracks etc.<br>
<br>
This instance on giving them a name tag is fake. It'll mean sections
with one route will have their name tag rendered, but where
additions routes join there will be no rendering. <br>
<br>
If multiple routes are of equal standing, but you insist on adding a
name tag to the way, how do you decide which takes precedent? <br>
<br>
This thread reinforces my belief there's a lack of understand of
route relations' purpose.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree that in general you do not apply the route's name to the way, but I would not exclude it.</div><div>I have hiked a couple of paths actually named after a hiking trail; I have hiked a paths created solely for a wellknown long trail, and locally called by that name.</div><div><br></div><div>In Nederland this would not happen, because just about every path is used by multiple foot routes and it's never necessary to create a dedicated path for a hiking route.
