FRA: Massive downgrade of autoroutes & routes nationale

[michih]

• Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (ARA):
  • N102

The segment through Le-Puy-en-Valey was downgraded to D902 in 2021. D906 was upgraded to N102. See 2024 GSV. N102 should have been transferred to the region from 2024-01-01 but is announced to be transferred on 2025-01-01 now.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_nationale_102_(France_m%C3%A9tropolitaine)

Nonetheless, a new N102 section was opened today I've added it as "N102 Arvant" albeit I assume that it should be plain N102, and the old route (only RMA58 and me have traveled it) should be N2102 now. It is all announced to be downgraded to D routes in just two months.

N410 was abandoned in 2023. This is confirmed by a 2024 photo on Mapillary.
This also affects FRA-IDF A1 2 and labels on FRA-IDF D24-93 and FRA-IDF D941-93.

Bouches-du-Rhône (PAC 13):

The autoroutes should have been transferred in 2024. e.g. mentioned for A55 but only with a reference to the legislative text from January 2023 i.e. no confirmation that it actually happened; I didn't spot any numbering change on OSM, GM nor October 2024 GSV; Anyhow, I assume that the autoroute numbering will remain as-is. To be revisited to make sure that there is really no renumbering on transfer.
