Oops, in the changeset comments I meant to say "highway number (41>49)" because it's on Highway 49, though very close to Highway 41.

The comments about "No street sign for this road" apply to the little east-west section between Highlands Ridge Heights and Chapel Hills Drive. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks! Yikes! Not sure how "reference" got in there because I've been extending "ref" lately for store numbers with "ref:store_number" (taginfo shows 224 uses worldwide, and it's growing). ref by itself is mysterious, so why not name it better?

Just added a description about the bus loop on the service road ( way/580976575 )

Hi again, you were absolutely right! I just called Mountain View High School and they said this was a multi-purpose area. Mainly it's the bus loop (which we might need to tag), but the marching band does practice there. Great info!

Got to run, but back on this later. It's interesting!

OK, in your TX example, Bing Maps aerial imagery shows markings that look like a duplicate of a football field, with circles for band movement. I see some similar markings on the asphalt at Highlands Ranch.

Yep, they're both asphalt with parking lot lines (and a few cars), but they probably rope or cone it off before band practice. What piqued my interest was the green rendering, so I was expecting to see grass/dirt. I think a phone call to the high school would answer the question. :)

Online references are easier to check than having to go to the library.
