Other highway tags describe other physical attributes: ***** A restricted access major divided highway, normally with 2 or more running lanes plus emergency hard shoulder. ***** Important roads that aren't motorways. Typically maintained by central, not local government. Need not necessarily be a divided highway. ***** A "C" road in the UK. Generally for use on roads wider than 4 metres (13') in width, and for faster/wider minor roads that aren't A or B roads. In the UK, they tend to have dashed lines down the middle, whereas unclassified roads don't. ***** James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
