I'm trying to figure out both who and why keeps changing roles on relations from "forward/backward" which makes sense and can be easily sorted and checked to "north/south/east/west", which only makes sense of the child is another relation in a super-relation. US 75 in Oklahoma, for example, which I'm currently working on, has suffered this, as have Interstates in the region.
Also making a plea to *not* do this and instead use the sensible forward/backward roles; incorrect tagging becomes confusing and a real pain to troubleshoot. If cardinal direction specificity is that important for a particularly confusing route, then create a super with child relations (and in the super use the cardinal directions as roles) with the child relations tagged with direction=<cardinal> in addition to the usual tagging.
