probably not worth encoding in the manual...

I think that exactly these exceptions and interpretations should be listed in the manual ONCE. Instead of discussing it again and again and again and again on the forum. I'm sick of this discussion (although I usually don't follow it in detail)

That's why I've suggested color-coded MUST, SHOULD and COULD rules (I don't find where I've suggested it :().

There's a practically unlimited amount of minutia to obsess over. If we put everything in it, it would balloon out to the point of unreadable and unmanageable density.

We don't need it (especially as it's concurrent with the A414), but it's not only officially a spur of the A10, but signed as A10 heading away from the mainline (unlike the A10 spur just to the south which I would much prefer was the signed spur instead, which is signed as '(A1170)' heading away from the A10), and therefore I think we should definitely have it.

B1522:
OceRd -> B1522 branch according to OSM, GM and GSV ?
As I've already said, the only one that matters for spurs is GSV (hence why I've not added spurs wrt comments about OSM and GM showing them). However, in this case, the road numbers swapped about a decade ago, and signage on the old A1018 wasn't updated - what the sign is signing is not a spur of the B1522, but the former routing that is now the A1018.

Incidentally, OSM actually has (most of, at least) Ocean Road as B1405, which is what the Ordnance Survey has it as what seems like a deliberate mistake to check for copying.

Let's make a break a break with England and go to Wales.

WLS B4242
OSM and GM indicate a branch between ToA465 and A465.


WLS B4246
OSM and GM indicate a branch between Gov and A465 through Govilon.

WLS B4251
OSM and GM indicate a branch between ComSt and A4048.

WLS B4252
OSM and GM indicate the section between B4254_W and A4049 as A469 (seems to be a branch of it).


WLS B4257
OSM and GM indicate a branch between QueCre and A469.

WLS B4263
Add a WP for B4623 and add B4623 to HB.

WLS B4275
OSM and GM indicate a branch between A4059_Pon and A4059.

WLS B4278Por
Add a WP in Porth


WLS B4285
Check routing in Aberfan.

WLS B4287
Rename B4334 to B4434.


WLS B4290
M4 is off

Done until B4300.

WLS B4275
OSM and GM indicate a branch between A4059_Pon and A4059.
None of these branches (including the A469) are, however, signed, and thus are not eligible for inclusion. The B4251 spurs seem to have lost class 2 status, making OSM and GM even more misleading!

I did add a point on the B4263 for the route heading north out of Caerphilly, and make some tweaks to some of the above routes.

All signed towards the mainline, and the B4521 one you've put at a junction at the end of the route in the browser, not the route you want added as a branch, so it's not only towards the mainline, but is signing the actual mainline.

These are also often the only sign, despite many of these branches TOTSOing and so work as just a vague "this way to that road" sign (eg B4257). Add in that many of the routes of these branches are now traffic calmed, and perhaps with through traffic dissuaded (one that michih suggested adding recently), and it strikes me that they are effectively outdated/erroneous signs. Others (eg B4242) are a link road with no intermediate junctions - and if we add them, we need to add the M5 trumpet sliproads at junction 22 as its signed as M5 towards the M5 - and probably twice given it's signed as part of the A38 off the M5 mainline!

I do not believe that a unbracketed route number on a sign is adequate evidence of a road being inherently part of that route. For instance the road between the A465/A4143 junction and the B4246/B4269 junction is signed southbound as B4246 (which is the correct number), and northbound as A4143, the latter being not true, though if you go that way you will inevitably end up on a bit of road designated A4143. And here we have a sign for the A4059 on a road (that you missed) marked by OSM and GM as a branch of the B4275, but the other end has no number - what is that? I'd say it's a link road, not a branch of either road.

I'm not going add what is probably 2000 routes (you suggested 7 off about 50 routes, and you only mentioned about half such branches off those roads!), mostly poorly (and even incorrectly) signed and many of which are mapping errors, without quite a lot of justification. Spurs in the UK have to be signed, and signed heading away from the mainline otherwise we enter madness.


I should point out that I went to a lot of effort to work out whether to add most of these specific branches when drafting the system. I'm not going to take "OSM and GM show it" as anything serious - and expressed such in the last message before this Wales review (thank you, by the way - it's much appreciated). I'm going to need some evidence it should be included beyond unreliable mapping sources, otherwise I'll just ignore it from now on.

Edit: adding the A469 branch as there is actually a sign pointing away from the mainline with that number on: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6705061,-3.2238246,3a,75y,78.59h,80.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMDAv5x5k6zFbW-7wLhY4QA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Yep, we saw last fall that that unbracket numbers are not an evidence. There are more incorrect unbracket road numbers in UK than expected.

Is Wales so bad? I think that England is not that bad. What's about Scotland?

I think it's better to report when maps show different routes so that you can check - e.g. in case of newly opened bypasses etc. - than ignoring it for the peer-review. And it's always possible that you missed something. That's why we make a peer-review.
In addition, it might help in case of an issue in the future when we can check how the situation was before activation and read why we didn't include it.

It's not specific to any. I pointed this out to you, doing England, too.

Altered routes, sure - they are worth looking at. Branches? I need more evidence than just the mapping.

Well yes, I was just clarifying what is actually something I missed, and "OSM/GM says there's a branch" almost certainly isn't something I missed.

Yes, it makes no sense with branches of B roads but B4252 which is indicated as A469 should be checked that it's really a B road since OSM + GM show it as A469.
