<br>
The US Forest Roads overlay in JOSM shows the name of forest roads<br>
without "Road"; e.g. "Burton Creek B". Should the suffix "road" be added<br>
or is it redundant and a waste of bytes? (Sometimes there may be<br>
continuity from, say, a County Road with e.g. "Burton Creek Road", though.)<br>
