[Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US & State highways.

[James Mast]

Well, one of the main reasons I brought this up is because I've noticed another user changing some relations from "forward/backward" to "west/east"/"south/north" without discussing this here on talk-us.  That user would happen to be KristenK.  This user has been doing this since the 11th at least all across the US.  Maybe a block is needed so he can explain here on talk-us why he's doing all these mass edits? (or was this a challenge on Battle Grid that I wasn't aware of?)  Only reason I just noticed this was because a recent change of his edits finally triggered in one of my RSS feed watch areas (US-30 WV relation).

Another reason is for those rare US highways that change posted cardinal directions within one state (US-98 is posted both North/South and East/West in Florida), or change at state borders (US-35 and US-52 do this several times).  We need to figure out a way to account for this so that the routers give the person the correct info.  As we do know, diagonal routes can be a major pain in this area.
