However in Canada, since we do not do prefixes, removing the name would just make it unclear which kind road is it (is it provincial? county?)</div><div><br></div><div class="ydp5d6a828asignature"><div style="font-family:new times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div>--</div><div>

<div><div id="yiv6749801894"><div>Should we be removing or replacing "Highway x" and the like names as redundant with highway number (tagged ref=), as like what is already being done south of the border? I've done this with roads in Alberta, either removing them or replacing them with range/township road numbers where posted (in provinces that follow Dominion land system) or other posted road names, or route names as found in trailblazer signs, but some of those "names" got restored.
