What do you mean by the “this” that is to be mapped? Do you mean “Great North Road” or High Road / London Road, etc. The latter are not historic - they are current (as you can verify on e.g. Postcode Finder looking for 11 High Road, Beeston, Sandy)

<div class="">Hi,</div>

<div class="">If this is to be mapped shouldn't it be as a historic feature rather than a (current) road route?

So how should I tag this? I want to have the correct name for the sections of A1, yet I don’t know how far these extend (my data lists the street names at points, not over lengths), and equally I don’t want to lose the Great North Road tag - just to demote
it.<br class="">

<br class="">
</span>I would say that the name should be that which is locally sign posted, for which you will need an on the ground survey.<br class="">
<br class="">
I think I would agree with the discussion that suggests "Great North Road" for the entirety, should be a [route] relation.
