Looks like we have inconsistent documentation. Again, the longstanding *superrelation* documentation never required a special superroute type; this is a misreading that has taken on a life of its own.

Steve recently acknowledged your edits on the USBRS page [1], but it’s inconsistent with how other U.S. route networks are tagged, for example U.S. Routes [2] and the route directions page I linked earlier. As it is, the relations you’ve touched are the outlier. This may complicate efforts by data consumers or queries to make use of the superrelations.

We need to have a discussion somewhere the rest of the community can see it. If you aren’t on OSMUS Slack, perhaps we can discuss it on the forum?
