[Talk-us] Marion and Lane County, Oregon county roads

[Paul Johnson]

Looking at Marion and Lane Counties in Oregon, I'm wondering what the
source material is for much of the references, since I'm not familiar with
any county road numbers in either of those counties (or for that matter,
anywhere else in Oregon, and would consider any county road ref tagging
suspicious).  Unless this is a new thing (post ~2009), I'm thinking these
are not prominently posted and fall under the category of what's not
presently considered proper tagging (given that I was chastised for tagging
Oregon State Route 99W's member ways as OR 1W in the relation of Oregon
State Route 99W, which would be accurate based on maintenance signage, but
not as meets commonly accepted OSM standards).  As far as I'm aware, based
on over 25 years of living and traveling in Oregon ending in roughly 2010,
no Oregon county prominently marks county reference numbers, which would
make the vast majority, if not all, of the county route numbers in Oregon
on ways invalid under the current tagging scheme (even if technically
correct).

Could someone with more recent knowledge of the Marion County and Lane
County highway systems take a look and make a call on this?

I'm not against tagging county and state roads properly, though the
currently accepted scheme breaks Oregon badly (since ways might belong to a
state highway that don't correspond to the state route number, and not all
state highways have state route numbers, such as service roads in a state
park).
