Yes there is a need for clarification for consistency. It has been
difficult for us to tag different roads as there nature as well as use
differs from that described in the wiki. I think we can discuss further on
the tagging scheme for roads in Nepal

Dear Spring,
I would agree, the less shadowing the better, but that is obviously a
function of timing, the angle from which the image is captured, and then
steepness of the relief...
Based on the information I've examined before, there isn't much we can do,
as we are at the mercy of the
The Nepal Electric Authority would likely already have such a map, or
relevant data:

Page 106 of their annual plan has a transmission line map:

Agreed : the project instructions wiki could use some clarification for
consistency. I can help with that if there's agreement on the tagging
scheme.
The Nepal/Roads Wiki section on tagging rural vehicular highways states,
In practice highway=unclassified is usually the best choice, and
Pierre noted, If road connect villages, indicate minimally
highway=tertiary. If unpaved, add the tag surface=unpaved.
We might need some guidance on what constitutes a village for this purpose,
for example, minimum number of buildings.

The trick is to spot the transmission towers. Their shadows help in
this, when present. It's rare that you would see the actual lines, but
the towers themselves are spaced more or less regularly, meaning that if
you've seen a couple in a line you have a rough idea where to search for
the next
Fyi, user GautamPratik already started entering some hydro sites using the
tag hydropower_project:name. Here's a search for that:

We dont have time to reconcile with Nepal OSM community highway schema. Our
friends at Kathmandu Living Labs are quite sollicited now and can revise the
classification after this response.
I would reserve highway=unclassified for end of networks, where the road
connects to hamlets.Track
Let's avoid to map highway = road since the routing software wont use this
information.
Sounds like there is quite a bit of clean up to do on the highways many
are tagged road.

Hi Pete,
I have really wanted something like has been discussed in this thread
for a while now.
Your opaque indicator of reviewed areas reminds me of an idea we had for
a JOSM plugin to help with these scanning type mapping tasks:
One of those overhead spotlights that follows you around
All buildings should be traced.
If houses are clustered closed one to the other (more like usual hamlets or
villages), trace a polygon around the houses with the tag landuse=residential.

The appropriate one is highway = road, until it has been verified. If they
are roughly two lane and long, then use highway = tertiary.

You can tag the unpaved, but maintained roads between small villages as

I ran a small mapathon at the MSF office at which we were doing task 993.
This is a vast area and a lot of the squares have not a lot in them. As
these were beginners, they were all using iD. They felt very comfortable
using the arrows to scroll through the squares, so that their scanning was
