[Talk-us] Adopt-a-highway representation in OSM

[dies38061 at mypacks.net]

I am interested in what tagging you would suggest to indicate that a stretch of road has been "adopted" as part of an Adopt-a-Highway program.

Quoting from the Wikipedia article: "The Adopt-a-Highway program, also known as Sponsor-a-Highway (but see distinction below), is a promotional campaign undertaken by U.S. states, Provinces and Territories of Canada, and national governments outside North America to encourage volunteers to keep a section of a highway free from litter. In exchange for regular litter removal, an organization (such as Cub Scouts or Knights of Columbus) is allowed to have its name posted on a sign in the section of the highways they maintain."

My thinking right now would be to include at the way level these additional tags:

...amenity	{Adopt-a-Highway}
...operator:amenity	{Air Liquide}
...source:amenity	{survey}
...source:amenity:date	{2013-01-01}
...source_ref:amenity	{roadside_sign}

An example changeset containing two contiguous road segments is at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14493979 .

Thanks for your input.
