Croatia/Mechanical Edits/Add HR prefix to network tag of road routes

---

Mechanical edit of network tags in road routes is an automated edit of values on network=* keys on all Croatian classified road relations. The old and new network=* values are:

Old tag	New tag
network=Autoceste	network=HR:Autoceste
network=Državne ceste	network=HR:Državne ceste
network=Županijske ceste	network=HR:Županijske ceste
network=Lokalne ceste	network=HR:Lokalne ceste

Goals

Replacing the network=* key values to adhere to the <COUNTRY CODE>:<ROAD CODE> standard that is becoming more popular and guaranties that the network=* value of the relation will be unique.

Schedule

The edit went through in May 2024.
