Tagging Guidelines

Tagging guidelines for Ontario were here. They've been moved to Canadian tagging guidelines.

Provincial Roads

Route relations

These were found by searching for network=kings_highway and network=ca_on_primary. Please add any missing ones. We need to decide on a network tag to use for all primary provincial highways.

Possible trailblazer tagging scheme

Key Explanation Value

For an example of how I believe that such a relation could be used, see the relations pointing to Highway 85 and 401 in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. 153509 153512 153513 153514 153515 153516 bielawski 01:25, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
