I’ve also seem areas were US numbered highways end up with an opposite compass bearing (i.e. the north bound direction on the highway is actually going south). Just because a section of the route is going in a different direction than the overall route is not a reason to separate it out of the route relation. That is, the route relation should match the official highway direction.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Tod<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sep 21, 2017, at 7:26 PM, Dave Mansfield <<a href="mailto:mansfieldd@chartermi.net">mansfieldd@chartermi.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>I-69 in Michigan is east / west from where it splits from I-96 near Lansing<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/42.7761/-84.6325"><span style='color:#954F72'>http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/42.7761/-84.6325</span></a><span class=apple-converted-space> </span>to where it ends in Port Huron.
