Hi Ben,
I'd really like to establish those (re-)mapping tasks, but lack the experience
with OSM to lead it. Would you fancy collaborating? I think someone with your
experience would be invaluable.
My suggestion would be as follows:
1. Coastline (I think mostly okay)
2. Water bodies (already started)
3. Railways
4. Motorway / freeway
5. Trunk / primary / secondary / tertiary (ideal opportunity to discuss
classification)
6. Local
7. Tracks etc. (Get those 4B enthusiasts involved)
8. Waterways
9. Paths / cycleways
NOTE: Nos 7-9 need not be relegated to last - those with local knowledge (and
an interest in those areas) can jump right in. Same for #3 (I nominate you!)...
SO, any takers interested in getting organised on the N.S.W. Central Coast?
(For arguement's sake, let's call it Woy Woy to Swansea - unless someone has a
preferred recommendation).
Let me know...
Cheers,
Paul.

Paul,
The road hierarchy on the Central Coast (and everywhere) is, i guess, based on
a combination of contributor perceptions and people trying to make sense of
guidelines in the OSM wiki. There will always be debate about road
classifications because so many factors can justify the relative importance of
a road, and those criteria vary from country to country.
Once the RTA (or RMS or whatever they're called this week) get around to
removing all those pesky green cover-plates off the road signs to reveal the
new routes I think we'll have a clearer picture. I doubt SR83 will exist for
much longer - certainly not via Donnison Street at least, but possibly a new B
route via Manns Road.
There's a swag of local streets and classifications in our area that need
review... so if you believe something is wrong and you have sound reasoning,
then feel free to change them.

How is the road network hierarchy established? Consult any number of maps
(internet and other) and you'll see differing arrangements (esp.
trunk/primary, but also what qualifies as secondary tertiary). For
example, on the Central Coast of N.S.W., the motorway/freeway is simple, and
the Central Coast Hwy was tagged as trunk (now decimated, certainly around
The Entrance). The Pacific Hwy north of Gosford is only tagged primary, so
clearly not as simple as road-type. Google Maps has it reversed (Pacific Hwy
more important), but Bing does not. Just wondering...
