I wonder if custom presets could help with the road classification.
We've had the same problem in parts of Indonesia, but that is because
the road classifications are simply translated. Translating the word

I'm not sure why that makes sense. Saying to people Okay we know you

So in my experience in Indonesia we have translated the presets
literally. As you would with a translation I suppose=).
The question the repeatedly comes up in the training though is is
this the equivalent of X road-type in Indonesia. It seems like
people have an okay idea of how the types map

With the German road numbering scheme, the administrative
classification is also already defined by the ref=* tag. So choosing the
highway value based on the administrative classification would duplicate
that information.
Hmm.

This is precisely what I've seen in Haiti and discussed with a number of the

That is: as the contributors' tech-savvyness decreases we see a clear hike in
