Hi <br>
<br>
I know this has been discussed before , but recent edits by user: <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/abc26324">abc26324</a>
prompts me to ask/verify again the point of road relations in the
UK. Example:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/103301#map=10/51.2112/-2.5578">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/103301#map=10/51.2112/-2.5578</a><br>
<br>
Route relations are meant to represent, err... routes taken by
people that transverse multiple different ways; such as bus cycle
etc & not just a 'collection' of things, especially when they
can easily be collated/extracted from the ref on the actual way.
<br>
<br>
I notice even the M4/M5 have one apiece. This has lead to tag
duplication which can never be a good thing.<br>
<br>
Are there any roads in GB where references are shared? If not, I see
no reason for their existence.<br>
<br>
