    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is a good point Eugene, and in
      fact the bridge names are very good landmarks, given that there
      are not many other signs on the roads in the Philippines,
      especially in rural areas. Another thing to take into
      consideration is that many bridges gain their name from the river
      they cross over, so there may be many bridges with the same name.
      They are definitely not tagged consistently at the moment, for
      example:<br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/15.15516/120.59219">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/15.15516/120.59219</a><br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/15.15840/120.60712">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/15.15840/120.60712</a><br>
      If I remember correctly, they are both named Abacan Bridge, but
      only one of them has that name on the map, and incidentally the
      one with a different road name on each side does not.<br>
      <br>
      Do you know if common routing software will pick up the
      bridge:name=* tag?<br>
      Yes, I know we're not supposed to tag based on what current
      software will pick up, but it is interesting to know, given that
      bridges are such great landmarks.<br>
      <br>
      It would be great with a published suggested standard that fits
      the Philippine conditions.<br>

            <div>Hi Pierre,<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            Most bridges here in the Philippines have names no matter
            how small. You can usually spot their name on the guard rail
            or on a small sign just before the bridge. These names are
            almost always accompanied by the maximum load the bridge can
            handle (which is tagged using maxweight=*) and sometimes
            with the distance from the island's zero-kilometer marker (I
            have no idea how to tag these. Maybe distance=*?).<br>

                                  Take note that if we have a way with

                                  the object is primarily a highway/road

                                  Therefore, the name=* tag should be
                                  the name of the highway/road. And then
                                  put the name of the bridge on the

                                The only time I would put the name of
