Thanks John.
Well-Noted. The conventons for roads here in Uganda are well-administrated
by us through Ugand Bureau of Statistics, who hope to one day be the first
country in the world to do a national census through OSM conventions.
We are trying to support them to the utmost with this, by trainin
Note to Robert I think you have to divide the mapping into parts. The
first is simple instructions that mappers can follow. In HOT in particular
we have a huge turnover of mappers and I think for the most part new
mappers look at the options presented in iD and chose, I won't say randomly
but it
Dear All,
We are following this discussion on Highways with interest in Uganda. I am
awaiting further input on 'service roads' from Uganda Bureau of Statistics
and other national and regional bodies with many years of experience, and
we are also learning through community field mapping on the grou
The first comment is It looks reasonable to me but I'm not the technical
authority on this one. Pierre might be better.
Second comment is we can invoke a special preset with iD when opened by
Task Manager.
Realistically the mappers we want to nudge most are those who only map once
and have very
Hi John, dear friends,
Just to add that we've been collecting road mapping tips (and other
goodies) here on Google slides (in the HOT drive):
http://bjohas.de/go/mmintro (see p. 65).
We've said this:

Apparently iD can be invoked with customised presets.
Another item on the TM3 to do list perhaps.

I should have mentioned highway=path as an acceptable alternative.
What I do see when validating though is a large number of highways
connecting settlements that are labeled tracks many of which look wide
enough for a 4 by 4 and these I feel should be labelled something else.

There may be exceptions if the tracks are not praticable at all by vehicles
(including motorbikes). They should however not even be tracks but just
paths if they are just usable by horses or usable sportively by
mountainbikes.
Not all houses or even villages are linked by unpaved tracks=minor roads
It's come up in the OSMand mailing list that these aren't shown at higher
zoom levels. Whilst mapping specifically just for the rendering system is
frowned on in this case it is supported by the wiki.
If it connects settlements then according to
