Re: [Tagging] lanes=-1 especially in Canada

There are many of these lanes=-1 in the Canvec import in Quebec. I would assume they mean ‘Unknown’. In my opinion we could just delete them all (at least in Quebec) since they bring no pertinent information. Guillaume > Le 2014-12-30 à 16:16, John F. Eldredge a écrit : > > On 12/29/2014 04:
