Thanks for all the insights.
Just a thought, legally designating cycleways and routes in the Phil.,
won't come anytime soon. Partly due to poor urban planning and
others.
But I digress, back to mapping.

Except in OSM, where Trunk means a primary road with a green side,
and Primary means other A road.

Hello list. Newbie here.
I work for a small press plublishing shop in my city, for a number of years
we have been developing and selling the most complete map of the city and
towns nearby, being the de-facto reference for all the citizens, bus and
taxi drivers, as well as for tourist in town.

I'd stick to the ABC classifications, except where a road is clearly
over-classified (ie it's been bypassed, or blocked to through traffic). This
can happen because of reluctance to declassify a road (which means less
money to spend on maintaining it).
British A&B roads tend to be through roads b

Using synonyms for "Importance" doesn't answer the basic question.
Anything not based on observable fact is inherently subjective. There
are many ways to arrive at your own score for "importa

A good question. Perhaps "prominence" rather than important?
I'm in two minds about the proposal. It feels like it is tagging for
the renderer, but could be argued that it is providing information
about how well known a place is to allow the renderers to make more
useful jud

Hello all,
I've wondered what the "Feature's popularity" field was for in Google Map
Maker and I think I've found a use case for it. Please check this OSM view

If the routes are fairly immutable - ie they're the routes that anyone
studying the problem would probably end up with, or wouldn't dispute, then I
think it's reasonable to add them to the map. The routes are fixed; they
just lack signposting.

Ah, they were clients of AT Harris Urban Remodelling Services?

This is proposal for tagging dance halls, places intended just for dancing.
There is no (at least I didn't find) applicable tag yet. Dance halls
are not restaurants nor pubs.

Hi,
In the Philippines there are very few (close to nothing I know of)
officially designated cycleways and routes. However, local
cycling/mtb clubs have created/established routes for their own
purpose. Any advice on how to tag these routes?
