[Talk-in] Renumbering National Highways

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways have released the new scientific
numbering scheme[1]. We need to decide if we should move to the new
numbering form or not. Also i think its better to have the old numbers as
well. Probably we can have ref_old and ref_new keys.Now we have a totally
new dimension to highways.(As though, we didnt have enough problems with it)

On a different note, when i visited openstreetmap.in to check if someone has
updated to new numbering scheme, i was shocked by seeing "Sudhama Nagar"
replacing "Bangalore".[2] I went and checked the data, sudhama nagar was
perfectly normal and marked as a locality in Bangalore, which it is. OSM
site displays this properly.Any idea on what could be the problem?
