The key =* is in use on route relations to document the current operational state of the route.

An alternative to =proposed is to use the prefix proposed:*=*, that is, proposed:route=* - this makes it clearer to database users that this route is not yet in existence, and has other advantages.

The most common values currently in use are:

  • =proposed: route proposed but not yet signposted/in operation
  • =connection: a connecting route but not part of the core route. See also Role:connection for individual route members
  • =alternate: an alternate route but not part of the core route. See also Role:alternative for individual route members
  • =temporary: a temporary detour

Routers and renderers may behave differently depending on this value. For example, OpenCycleMap and CyclOSM show proposed routes whereas cycle.travel and WaymarkedTrails do not.
