[talk-au] Proposed Bulk Edit: Road Route Numbering.

[Dian Ågesson]

Hello,

Just an update regarding this piece of work.

I was able to complete a bulk edit in Western Australia, however I found 
that it took a significant amount of effort. WA is the "easiest" of the 
states to convert, as it has less numbered routes and no alphanumeric 
routes to worry about.

Unfortunately, I don't believe a bulk edit for the other states is 
practical. Relations are much easier to update, but segments of highways 
that are shared by multiple routes are inherently manual tasks.

I will continue updating relations where I can, but any help would be 
greatly appreciated tagging highway segments.
