<div dir="ltr">Yes, this is correct. <font face="monospace, monospace">name=*</font> is only the name. Ideally, the <font face="monospace, monospace">ref=*</font> tag should be <i>supplemental</i> to a proper route relation at this point (especially in Indiana, where I am aware of a <i>nine-way</i> concurrency, something <font face="monospace, monospace">ref=*</font> just doesn't handle very elegantly at all in even the slightest stretch of the imagination.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 9:08 PM Albert Pundt <<a href="mailto:roadsguy99@gmail.com">roadsguy99@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I notice the user SSR_317 has been adding the route numbers of unnamed roads to the name=* tag of roads around Indianapolis.
