Australia

Yes. If that proves not ideal when the various systems are fleshed out, I can change it now.

What's ausaban? What's the system name? Shouldn't it be included to ausa?

Looks like bannered ausa routes, so to be consistent with our handling of this in the U.S. I think it would be ausab.

Changed my local copy.

There's usaus & usausb, but OTOH, how about the state systems, where bannered routes are included in the same system as the mainline routes?

[mapcat]

How many bannered A routes are there likely to be eventually?

[Bickendan]

Probably not that many.  So far, there's the two (Alt A1 Cairnes, Alt A1 Melbourne), three if you count M1 Sydney Harbour Bridge.

So then not enough to be worth making spare systems for it sounds like.

[Bickendan]

 For the moment, let's keep them separate until we have a better idea of what's out there. If they are rare routes, rolling them into ausa won't be an issue.

I've sent what I've drafted to Jim.
Barring any missing items, I believe that this puts Australia into Devel status.

I have the files, thanks.  I'm looking for a volunteer who can take them, get them into the proper directory structure, and run the datacheck to verify everything gets parsed correctly.  It's a busy few days for me so it would otherwise have to wait a bit.

Email me and I can forward or contact @Bickendan to send you the files.

I could do it by Sunday at the latest. I'll contract Bickendan but I'll not start today (Thursday) if anyone wanna beat me...

• ausnswm - Sydney Metroads
• ausqldm - Brisbane Metroads

As far as I know, these are on the way out. Sydney Metroads are no longer active, and Brisbane is close to phasing them out. Wanted to let y’all know before anyone spent time on them or their structure.

I'll send them your way when I get home from work tonight.

Done: https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/2609

Open issues:
- _con.csv file entries need to be "connected by continuous route" (there were no _con.csv files at all)
- Some regions have routes with abbreviation only but should have exactly one route without abbreviation
- System names, tiers and system colors should be checked
