This seems to be the case around the country. All route numbers were listed in alternate names of the roads in the original TIGER data, but the vast majority of these have been removed in favor of route relations and <font face="monospace, monospace">ref=*</font> tags.<div><br></div><div>I removed these name tags from the affected roads, but the user has since re-added them.<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="m_-8015540901309522177gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">—Albert Pundt<br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
