Another problem is that unlike the national highways, the motorway
doesn't have a label, i don't know what is the problem because the
name has been correctly entered still there is no label.

Hi Abdul,

No idea that why is it not really representing the Motorways as it is
supposed to do. Maybe GMM Team have some answer! As long as I think,
Motorways should be "Controlled Access Roads"; P.S. All Motorways are
tool Motorways as well.

i was reading you page r u shore about your naming convention. but i
don't think so that will help like. as a road that goes from lahore to
gujranwala will be called lahore road only inside gujranwala and will
be called gujranwala road only in lahore. but out sides of the city
boundary of both cities it will be called lahore - gujranwala road.
what do u think?

Yes, I'm shore and also agree with your point about spellings and
stuff. ;) But I was also talking about the roads connecting two towns/
cities/villages. I am talking about the priority of the naming a road.
e.g. if going from Lahore to Gujranwala then road is "Lahore-
Gujranwala Road" while going from Gujranwala to Lahore road name has
priority of "Gujranwala - Lahore". And how users edit/add a road name
that is wrong most of time. By giving a name in one name box (As shown
above in example images) results in different names at different
sections of road. For another example, have a look at "Wazirabad -
Sialkot Road" or "Wazirabad-Sialkot Road" or "Wazirabad- Sialkot
Road". These road names look similar to each other but they are
different as the space and hyphen is at different positions and that
makes editing/searching difficult. Hope you get my point.

It is correct to name Road as Lahore-Gujranwala close to Lahore &
Gujranwala-Lahore close to Cujranwala.

Also, I suggest use the short `Rd' instead `Road' to have a shorter
title.

Finally, leaving a marked information `Blank' is better than filling
it with a `Guesswork'. Correct information can be later added up by
another User.

MapMaker will autometically replace the Road to Rd when road name is
longer.
