[Talk-ca] Highway recoding

[Ken Wuschke]

Paul -

No issues on either of those points. All I really want is a clear
definition but your response provides neither.

Could you please elaborate as to:

1. What would be an definition as to what you see a trunk route would be?

2. For the Lower Mainland what "unexpected routes" would foresee?

I'm just trying to understand your point of view to get insightful
perspective.

However, presently OSM is using a government list to determine trunk
routes. For some strange it doesn't apply to BC according to OSM. So that
raises the question why does OSM contributors treat BC differently then the
rest of Canada on this point.

Cheers,
Ken
