            OK, I had understood I must use the number as the number.<br>
            But, <i><b>how are those numbers assigned</b></i>?<br>
            That means: who chooses them or do we have to invent them
            ourselves and are there any rules.<br>
            This should be explained in the wiki so that it can be

        <div><br>
          The numbers are chosen by the tourism agency responsible for
          your area. Like in my region, it's WestTour (<a
            moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.westtoer.be">http://www.westtoer.be</a>).<br>
          <br>
          They create maps, and they signpost the routes.<br>

      <pre wrap="">I don't really understand the question here. If you want to add cycle nodes

    Thanks.<br>
    Obviously, what seems obvious to you isn't to everybody, including
    several maps I have seen.<br>
    In consequence, I have added the following phrase to <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions">Conventions</a>
    Hiking & Biking.<br>
    <blockquote type="cite">Mapping of walking and/or biking routes must
      be restricted to routes signposted by an official tourism agency
      that is assigning the node numbers, if any, and writing them to
      the signs.<br>
    </blockquote>
    As, in addition, the so-called tourism do not reply to e-mails, this
    is one more business I quit.<br>
