The Australian Road Names wiki says that Freeways, Major Highways and Minor Highways all need to have the “None” box ticked for City. I do not think that this is necessary as it will not have any effect on continuity (as the routing server doesn’t use the city name for Big Detour Prevention). The reason behind ticking None in the City box may have more to do with this issue than anything else.
It might mean that when the road is within the City polygon, then it might be able to have the City name set as part of the primary name. Is this right or would it be more simple to keep things as they are?
Having it as “No city” merely means that the City field doesn’t interfere with the current cities bounding boxes. Why would you want to add unnecessary complication? The Alt names are there for local routing, if you need a city name.
The issue is that there area a lot of Minor Highways up that have Cities in the primary names. To meet the criteria from the wiki, they’ll all need to be changed
Road Selector Highlights working together with Road Selector can do it though. This criteria will highlight any Freeways, Major Highways, Minor Highways or ramps with City set: (Road Type = “Freeway” OR Road Type = “Major Highway” OR Road Type = “Minor Highway” OR Road Type = “Ramp”) AND City != “”
