Hi folks,

I have been investigating the strange case with road shield in maps.me. In Latvia they are duplicated in different colors:

Turns out, in route relations for roads you use network=lv:national for both A and P roads and network=lv:regional for V roads. But in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Latvia#M.C4.93r.C4.B7i P roads are called regional and V are local. So basically A and P roads are indistinguishable by their network tag, which strips it of meaning.

Should I disable parsing road relations for Latvia, or is it possible to fix this issue by retagging all the relations or inventing a new network value for A roads?

Ilya
