[Talk-GB] C roads

[Kev js1982]

Some C (and U) roads are signed apparently - see

(And not all A roads are signed on the ground either)

I note an increasing number of roads tagged with ref=C<number>:

       etc.

Leaving aside for now the question of sourcing, I feel a little uneasy about
these being rendered on the map. Anyone using the map as, well, a
navigational aid will think "turn left onto the C94... oh... hang on... what
C94?".

So if we are to have such arcana in the database, and experience suggests
you can't actually stop people adding arcana to OSM (I guess that's one of
our strengths ;) ), it would be helpful to have some way of tagging "this
ref is not actually signed". That way, renderers and routers could choose
not to show refs which aren't helpful for their audience. Something like
ref:signed=no would work.

Any thoughts?
