<font face="'PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif'">D roads certainly do
exist, however at times the signs are covered over/folded up etc. The
one I know for certain is a Pacific Highway detour which heads West
from Nabiac and goes up to Krambach: http://osm.org/go/uaQzXe_<br><br>After that I don't know where it goes. There's a D sign at this intersection: <br>http://osm.org/go/uaQzVoPL
but I've not followed it after that. I guess it goes to Gloucester and
follows the Buckets Way back to the Pacific Highway ~30km North of
Raymond Terrace.<br><br>The D sign linked to above was only installed
after a fatal accident occured on the Pacific Highway at Buladelah
which resulted in all traffic being diverted at Nabiac (and a large
number of cars passing by our property on Wallanbah Road requiring
directions). Prior to that accident ~2 years ago I don't think there
was an official detour route, so they may only be temporary and not
worth mapping.<br><br>For anybody who's interested the D route sign in question is visible in Google Street View here: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=-32.085556,152.322092&spn=0,359.92301&z=14&layer=c&cbll=-32.085453,152.32208&panoid=u93FikimFDFYopOTvwIqEg&cbp=12,212.72,,0,12.53<br><br>-Brent</font><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: John Smith <delta_foxtrot@yahoo.com><br>Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 2:24 pm<br>Subject: Re: [talk-au] I've been trying to fix the highway shields and came across this....<br>To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org<br><br>> I'm going to be adding Tourist Route Shields to the map shortly <br>> but in the process of looking for a graphic I came across this <br>> page on wikipedia:<br>> <br>> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Route_shields_of_Australia<br>> <br>> It lists shields for a number of things like Alt National Route, <br>> and on one of the other wiki pages it uses 'D' routes to mean <br>> Detour however these routes aren't in the same category as MABC.<br>> <br>> Does anyone think this is a good idea?<br>> <br>> Use network=D for D classified roads, if they exist.<br>> Use network=detour for NSW classified detour routes<br>> Use network=alt_NR for Alternate NR routes<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Talk-au mailing list<br>> Talk-au@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au<br>>
