Hello nordic neighbours from Sweden!
I'd like to improve the use of the "network" key for road routes in
Iceland.
The background is that I've been contributing to a new map renderer
(https://github.com/ZeLonewolf/openstreetmap-americana) that uses route
relations to display route shields on roads, rather than deduce it from
the keys on each road segment. Iceland seems to already have a
well-structured system for the classification of roads and use of the
"network" key, however, there seems to be an inconsistency in how
multiple classifications of the same route are handled. It would be
helpful if an order could be decided for the use of multiple values,
e.g. "S;T;L" instead of having both "S;T;L" on one route and "T;S;L" on
another, or is there a reason for the specific order?
Another issue, the more important one in fact, is that the values are
not prefixed with a two-letter country code (see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:network). I would like to
introduce this, so that the values in the network key are prefixed with
"IS:", so e.g. "network=Sx" would become "network=IS:Sx".
Best regards,
riiga
