To map the effect on the road network, I agree. To relate the traffic signs
to those ways, we don't. I don't know if we'll be able to map all traffic
signs and include all these relations (and keep them up-to-date), but then
I also wasn't sure we´d be able to put entire countries on the map like we
did, only ust a few years ago. It would be good to have a well thought out
plan, so we can start doing it consistently.
