[Talk-us] State ref tags on ways

[Elliott Plack]

Phil,

That's right. I would use unsigned_ref for county routes. In Baltimore
County the county route numbers are never signed and not really even
advertised. You'd have to look at SHA databases to figure out the ref. Here
is an example using the proposed tagging (without using relations).
