Re: [talk-au] Norfolk Island
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? - Rob Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:09:32 + From: delta_foxt...@yahoo.com To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org Subject: [talk-au] Norfolk Island Can anyone that has been to Norfolk island, or lives there, comment on why 99% of the roads are all listed as secondary? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _ Need a new model in your life?

Re: [talk-au] Norfolk Island
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... :) jim On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 10:09 PM, John Smithdelta_foxt...@yahoo.com wrote: --- On Thu, 13/8/09, Rob Kemp motosu...@hotmail.com wrote: I can see why the streets wouldn't be tagged Residential.
