A route=road
relation specifies that its members are a part of a road network and are used for motor vehicle traffic. This relation is mainly used for major routes which have a ref=*
. A value for ref=*
may be unique in a smaller area (such as a city), but not in a larger area (such as a country); adding roads to a relation allows to distinguish parts of roads that are related and to make roles between parts of roads explicit. Most urban streets and minor roads which are identified only by a name=*
tag do not belong to a relation.
