<br>OSM requires <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Verifiability">verifiability</a>, for reasons I consider apparent. A route relation requires that there be an actual, connected route.<br><br>On both these points, this isn't appropriate for a route relation.<br>

National Route 1 and the Princes Hwy diverge at many points. National Route 1 follows the Southern Freeway south from Sydney for a start.<br>
