[talk-au] Question about route numbers

[Mark Pulley]

Just a couple of questions about route numbers before I start adding  
some relations.

1. When should I start using Alphanumeric numbers? For an example, the  
Mid Western Highway between Bathurst and Cowra is currently NH24, but  
some signs have shown A41 (now coverplated over by NH24). Should I use  
the new A41 or the current NH24?

For another example, when in Dubbo last weekend on the Mitchell  
Highway, I spotted A32 on one intersection only, all the others still  
showing NH32.

2. Not really a question - last time I was in Brisbane (several years  
ago) there was an alternate route for what was then NH15 (now A15),  
but labelled 'Business 15' (in white shield I think). I have no idea  
if it is still labelled as this route, but if so do we need bus_NR in  
the list of highway refs? (Anyone nearby who can check what the  
current label is?) Here's the link to the southern end of the old  
route (note the road, labelled 'Warwick Road' has 'NH15' on OSM.)
