What is the recommended ref and name for USFS roads?<br>
This was brought up on this list last year. <br>

I don't think it was brought to a close<br>
<br>
It was brought up on the tag list 2 years ago<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-August/047455.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-August/047455.html</a><br>
<br>
Rob S is under the impression that the consensus from the tag list
discussion is that the tagging should be:<br>
ref:usfs=FS xxx . <br>
<br>
I'm good with that, & if that's what others agree to, then I'll
change the wiki.<br>
<br>
Currently the wiki doesn't mention ref:usfs, and says to use <br>
<blockquote>
<p>NF xx (for those roads with a <i>Distinctive Route Marker</i>)
</p>
<p>FR xx (for any other National Forest System Road) <br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I did some tag filtering US wide & it looks like NF is used
the most. Nationwide FS & FR are both used roughly the same
(but some of those are Fort Stewart, not Forest Service), in the
west FR is used about twice as much. In Colorado, due to Rob's
prolific work, the majority may be tagged as ref:usfs=FS xxx</p>
<p>On the USFS maps that I pulled up, they just put the number,
there is no NF/FS/FR.</p>
<p>Probably another hopeless, never ending discussion.<br>
