No. The forward/backward is not relative to the direction of the _route_, but relative to the direction of a _way_. So even if you have an outbound (say "forward")/inbound (say "backward") routes, then the outbound route going over a way against the direction of that way should have the backward role, NOT the forward one as would be intuitive. In PTv2 only a few roles are acceptable: stop and platform (and the equivalents stop_exit_only and stop_entry_only) for stops and platforms, and _no role_ for the ways in the route. Even if there were a logical ordering between the outbound and inbound route, then that can be arranged by the ordering of the routes in the route_master relation (not that I know of any implied meaning of such an ordering). _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
