"190 200 sign, consistent with ?distance marker signs seen elsewhere at
side of road"

Near some bridges on the Princes Highway I've also seen orange stakes with
what appear to be distance markers (from a common datum point). Also on the
Kings Highway there are yellow stakes that are distance markers for property
addressess.

There seem to be many standards in use for multiple things.  Probably the
local councils are in the process of trying to standardise rural addressing.

I've started tagging the N.S.W bridges numbers, using the bridge_number
tag.  Soonish I will start adding bridge relations (in accordance with James
LIvingston's post on the matter) and when all software, renderers, search
engines etc recognise the relations, I will remove the bridge_number tags
that I have added.

PS - I've managed to convert ACT grid co-ordinates to WSG84 geographic
co-ordinates which now helps me in my survey of all the A.C.T bridges.
Next week I'll be able to help the ACT Govt improve their bridge list a
little bit.
