Occuring of a strange value in a way

1

Hi I came across the following keys and value in a way AND_nosr_r 15461816 at https://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.030335&lon=5.07523&zoom=18&layers=M. Its not a common key and value, but present at several ways. Whats the use of it, or should it be removed ? And is it just a left over ? Greetz

The tag is very common in The Netherlands. It is a left over from the AND Import.

If you are editing a way for some reason, then it can be safely removed. However don't go around to delete this tag everywhere you can find it. That just causes unnecessary bloat of the database.
