Re: [talk-au] Norfolk Island

2009-08-13 Thread Rob Kemp

I can see why the streets wouldn't be tagged Residential.  Houses or
other buildings are generally well spaced (as in a semi-rural area). 
Last time I was there max speed on the island was 50 kmph (Not that
you'd want to do much faster than that on most of the roads).  Roads
are generally fairly narrow.  Maybe Tertiary would be a better tag?

 Can anyone that has been to Norfolk island, or lives there, comment on why 
 99% of the roads are all listed as secondary?

Sounds more like unclassified, I just updated the wiki deff on the Australia 
Tagging Guideline page to put things in line with the euro-centric/German view 
of things.

when I was there a few years ago they even had a roundabout painted at
an intersection, someone said to make Canberrans feel at home.
Everyone drove straight over it... :)
