[talk-au] Tagging Gazetted Road Routes (National, State, Regional...)

[Andrew Hughes]

Hi All,

I've been looking into how National, State and possibly Regional road
routes are tagged in Australia.

Our goal is to be able to determine if any given way is a member of a road
route, and if that road route is National, State, Regional, tourist route
such as...

   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Highway_(Australia)
   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_Queensland
   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_South_Australia
   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_New_South_Wales
   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_Victoria
   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_Tasmania
   - ...and so on


Some worldwide/geographic tagging guidelines exist, that are based on a
combination with the "network" tag: see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route#Road_routes

However, I can't see any clear pattern/convention of such tagging in
Australia (that would align with anything in the above wiki page). Do we
have such a guideline already that I am not aware of?

Kind regards,
A Hughes
