<div dir="ltr"><div><div><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><br></div>Some examples:<br><br><a href="http://www.philippinesdailyphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bukidnon-atugan-bridge.jpg">http://www.philippinesdailyphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bukidnon-atugan-bridge.jpg</a><br><a href="http://www.zamboanga.com/z/images/0/09/Calapan_Bridge,_Calapan,_Kabasalan,_Zamboanga_Sibugay,_Philippines.JPG">http://www.zamboanga.com/z/images/0/09/Calapan_Bridge,_Calapan,_Kabasalan,_Zamboanga_Sibugay,_Philippines.JPG</a><br><a href="http://static.rappler.com/images/tullahan-bridge-screengrab-20130708.jpg">http://static.rappler.com/images/tullahan-bridge-screengrab-20130708.jpg</a><br></div><div><div><br>Regards,<br>Eugene<br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 1:59 AM, Pierre Béland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pierzenh@yahoo.fr" target="_blank">pierzenh@yahoo.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>Eugene,</div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">I expect that only the major bridges have name.
