Has anyone get any consensus on how to tag the national and provincial
roads in RDC?
There is a wiki [1] with very nice info about the roads, with their
references and routes, but it doesn't say how to tag each of them:
trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary and unclassified.
Any clue?
Cheers,
Raf
Oups! I forgot the wiki URL:

When mapping in african countries, we do not have access to documentation that
classify roads. I proposed a classification for Mali roads which I think is
pertinent for african countries in general. This road classification is based
on the observation of town sizes. The primary and seco

Looking for documentation, I found some official documents that classify
the major roads of the RDC [1].
The document 4.1 [2] classifies the roads in 3 different types: routes
nationales, routes provinciales prioritaires and routes provinciales
secondaires.

Rafael,
We can see from this pdf that there is good information about road
classification in DR Congo. But this map is not detailed enough and there is no
shape file provided for road classification in the rgc.cd site. I will check
with Claire Halleux if such file is available.

This one is a bit more detailed for the area of Kitchanga:

Dear all,
On behalf of the HOT Board I'm pleased to announce that Heather Lesson has
been appointed to the position vacated by John Crowley. Heather was the
only nomination, so she can take the position without the need for a vote.
Of course we're all looking forward to working together for yours
Eric,
As I just told Severin I have revised the page for Mali to make it more generic
for african countries.
I agree with your propositions to describe road conditions and river crossings.
Feel free to revise the wiki page to describe these. This way, we will have one
page that apply to the v
Séverin,
I have revised the text in both french and english. Instead of talking only of
Mali, I have modified to talk of african countries in general.

These discussions show us that it is not an easy job to classify roads. The
governments classify roads for administrative purposes and this do not
necessarily show a clear hierarchy of roads. We may use
partly this classification, but we have to adapt it to show a clear
hierarchy of road
Although we don't have population estimates, town area is a pretty
decent proxy for this. We have discussed this a bit in Mali. I think
using a numbers based approach like this is the wrong way to go
however. If someone wants to know how many people a given road
"connects" they can just derive t
Regarding the road classification in DRC,
the RGC follows (or at least tries to follow) the official directives and
classifications established by the 3 road authorities*. Those ones are
however not always very accurate for now, mainly because of the missing
georeferenced data on road networks. Num
Hi all,
Just wanted to add a comment to the highway classification discussion, which
I'm happy to see is finally picking up scope of developing countries more
generally.
I've been mapping in Haiti for nearly 3 years now and have struggled often with
all of the higher road classes as practicabi
My experience in Mali (only a few weeks' worth) has all been with
unpaved roads. Most of them disappear into the merest traces at some
point due either to drifting sand or flood deposits. I look for two ruts
rather than one to confirm that the way is not just a footway. Under
such circumstances

Since this Sunday morning, increasing numbers of CAR residents have been
crossing the border to get more secured on the other side of the Ubangi
river. Many of them arrived directly in Zongo, the neighbouring town on DRC
side.
Its mapping is far less detailed than Bangui's, maybe we could set a tas
Zongo would definitely be helpful to humanitarian organizations. When last I
heard the IFRC was operating in part out of Zongo (this was weeks ago and may
have changed). We recently sent some folks out with poster sized OSM printouts
of Bangui / Zongo and were frustrated by the relative lack of
Bing Imagery is available for this area. To be able to start mapping
immediately, I have created a Task Manager job for Zongo.
We will have the opportunity to create other jobs later if necessary.

Please map in detail.

Thanks, I updated the Wiki page
Would be good is possible to make a French version of the job. I created a
French page for the WIki project and the crisis, and informed the OSM-FR
