<font face="Calibri">I agree in general with this proposal.<br>
<br>
In my neck of the woods there is a gotcha around SH2<br>
<br>
The Wikipedia page noted shows SH2 ending at Ngauranga Gorge where
it meets SH1.<br>
<br>
And the signs on the gound going south show this also.<br>
<br>
And on the ground going north from Wellington Interntional Airport
signage on the ground typically shows, on the same board, both SH1
Porirua and SH2 Hutt Valley<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">For what I have seen there are three type
of shields (I will use 100 as<br>
route number for each example): Red shields - State Highway
routes - tagged<br>
as ref=SH 100.<br>
White shields - Urban Routes - tagged as ref=100<br>
Brown shields - Touristic Routes - not tagged at all (should be
ref=T 100?)<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Correct. White shields are for Routes in general, Urban Routes is
the name used in Auckland.<br>
<br>
Are there actually any numbered themed (tourist) highways? AFAIK
they all use symbols which can't be put in ref. Themed highways
are not official highway references (e.g. for bridge numbers) and
should be mapped as route relations only, not on the ways (Routes
and State Highways should use both).<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">I came across few examples were some
editors are changing white shield ref<br>
from ref=100 to ref=SH 100. After some research I have found
that these<br>
routes were revoked<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Zealand_state_highways">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Zealand_state_highways</a> ). Is<br>
there any community agreement for adding routes in New Zealand
because I<br>
would like to fix all these errors so there is consistency
across the map?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
It should be whatever is on the ground. NZTA usually updates signs
quickly.</div>
