[Talk-ca] "Highway X" and the like as names

[Martin Chalifoux]

No. It is the rendering engine job’s to remove it if it chooses to. But we must include it. It is not possible to infer how a road is designated ie road, highway, parkway, street, avenue etc. This is meaningful info to include.

I've done this with roads in Alberta, either removing them or replacing them with range/township road numbers where posted (in provinces that follow Dominion land system) or other posted road names, or route names as found in trailblazer signs, but some of those "names" got restored.
