But how would the routing software (or person reading the map) know to use these specific streets? In both photos you can see the guide signs that the state has posted to direct traffic along them; it also (at least sometimes) maintains them, and on aerials you can see they have a centerline when other nearby streets don't. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
