[OSM-talk] route ref segments

[Jeffrey Martin]

If I'm following what you have said in other posts then Australia is similar
to the US in that different parts
of a route may have a physically different kind of highway and any section
of highway may be a part of
many different routes.

Would it be better to have a route tag instead of a ref tag?

Until I saw your au I didn't realize we could have compound keys. Would that
be a better way to state the route network?

route.us.us.alt=77
route.us.i.alt=70
route.us.i=70
route.us.i=70
route.us.us.bus=77
route.us.us.truck=77
route.us.ks=15
route.us.mo=K
