[OSM-talk] Require on-the-ground verifiability of ref tag on highway

[LapplandsCohan]

You are out driving with your GPS loaded with OSM maps. It says to turn into
XQ2785. Problem is there is no sign that says which road that is. XQ2785 (or
whatever) is a bureaucratical reference only used internally in the
documents of the road administration office. This is very frustrating when
your routing description is to lesser or greater extent useless due to
descriptions not adapted for real world use!

To be able to get routing descriptions that works for everyday use I motion
that when the ref= tag is used on a highway, there MUST be signs in real
life along the way that shows the same information (on-the-ground
verifiability), otherwise the information instead must go into unsigned_ref,
int_ref or other appropriate tag.
