I agree with your propositions to describe road conditions and river crossings. Feel free to revise the wiki page to describe these. So, I translated in English my proposal/explanation for road status made initially for Madagascar. English improvement is welcome. This way, we will have one

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
