<p>Hi.</p>
<p>Sounds good. </p>
<p>I have been re-creating some roads in my area in a similar way, although not worrying about the route relations just yet.<br></p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
For those working around Sydney, and following on from my previous<br>
email on the subject.<br>
<br>
My strategy for reconstructing the Sydney trunk routes has been to..<br>
<br>
Firstly, delete the nonCT route relations, and create new empty route<br>
directional route relations. Directional route relations are much more<br>
useful for reconstructing then non-directional ones, because you can<br>
ensure their continuity in JOSM, otherwise they are just a mess.<br>
<br>
Secondly, delete the nonCT parts of the route.<br>
<br>
Thirdly, rebuild the trunk road using bing, traces, and using JOSM to<br>
identify the missing parts of the route relation until the route is<br>
complete.<br>
<br>
The theory goes that if anything disappears during the big delete that<br>
I hadn't anticipated, at least rebuilding the trunk roads should just<br>
be a matter of completing the routes again.<br>
<br>
I've also been using the references as in the AU tagging guidelines on<br>
the wiki, so not using MR6 as a ref - which appears nowhere on a sign,<br>
instead using network=MR, ref=6. I notice a few people changing these<br>
refs back. I don't personally care much which way, and we'll all be<br>
alphanums before too long I hope, but the wiki reasoning makes sense<br>
to me, so I'm following that for consistency. I've also noticed some<br>
people adding roads going the wrong way to my directional relations.<br>
I'm thinking this is just a mistake, and I've removed them again when<br>
I see them. If in the long run, people don't like the directional<br>
ones, then that's fine too.<br>
<br>
I was 75% through completing this a few days before the delete was<br>
supposed to commence. I asked for an extension for this area to<br>
finish this sort of stuff, and no one who was running with this seemed<br>
responsive to any form of delay. So, I frantically finished what I<br>
could before the db went read only, and then stopped to wait to pick<br>
up the pieces, and that's kinda where I've been for the past month.<br>
<br>
