[Talk-GB] PRoW Ref tagging when ROW is also a road

[David Groom]

Longwood Lane  when driving a car along it looks pretty much like a normal 
highway, although it is rather narrow.  It has an asphalt surface, and when 
turning in from the north, or south there is nothing to show there is 
anything special about this road at all from a vehicles point of view.

However at the north end there is a (newly erected) public footpath sign 
showing a footpath ref of B64, pointing straight down this road, and the 
definitive map shows this as a footpath.

Currently I've tagged this way as follows:

highway = unclassified
designation = public_footpath
ref = B64
name =  Longwood Lane

The "problem" is that the map now displays the "ref", as if it were a road 
ref, whilst no other footpath refs get shown

. (see laso B33a and NC45a to the WNW of B64)

Is this:

a) Not a problem at all;
b) simply a problem for the rendering, and no change to the tagging is 
required;
c) a possible problem with the tagging?
