The key state=* is in use on route relations to document the current operational state of the route.
An alternative to state=proposed is to use the prefix proposed:*=*, that is, proposed:route=* - this makes it clearer to database users that this route is not yet in existence, and has other advantages.
The most common values currently in use are:
- state=proposed: route proposed but not yet signposted/in operation
- state=connection: a connecting route but not part of the core route. See also Role:connection for individual route members
- state=alternate: an alternate route but not part of the core route. See also Role:alternative for individual route members
- state=temporary: a temporary detour
Routers and renderers may behave differently depending on this value. For example, OpenCycleMap and CyclOSM show proposed routes whereas cycle.travel and WaymarkedTrails do not.
