Tagging suggestions for Louisiana
Route relations
Some highways are moving from the old way-based tagging scheme to the new route relations. Each relation should have network=* and ref=* keys, as well as a symbol=* key with the URL to the SVG image found on the highway's Wikipedia article. If the entire route has the same name, the name=* key may also be specified on the relation.
Interstate highways
Mark all member relations as network=US:I. Please keep this list synchronized with Interstate Highways Relations.
| Number | Relation | Status and notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 34171 34171 | From St. James–St. John the Baptist parish line to Mississippi state line. One relation for both directions. |
| 510 | 120983 120983 | Complete. One relation for both directions, with role=north/south. |
U.S. Routes
Mark all member relations as network=US:US. Please keep this list synchronized with United States Numbered Highway Relations. If "status" is blank for a column, that probably means the relation is not yet used in Louisiana.
