Hi,
With the advent of more sat images outside Metro Manila I would like
to re-visit this discussion regarding road classes in rural areas.
As Eugene discussed below, rural roads are different. I think we
should use the track and tracktype tags for most rural roads.
Maybe we should describe unclassified roads in the Philippine context as roads
within verified and/or urban areas that are of mixed use (commercial, retail,
industrial, residential, farmland), while the residential roads can be
described as a road in either urban or rural areas that are within
I feel we should simplify it (although not too much), not everything

Another example, I don't feel like using the tag living_street.
Here's the highway length stats to give us a general idea what highway
tags are currently in use:
I happy this discussion comes up and I would like to chime in on this
discussion.
Reviewing the map reveals that many places roads seems to have too high of a
classification, misleading people to use roads that are not meant for a lot of

areas like subdivisions. Then in terms of increasing importance, roads go

Motorway, Trunk, Primary, secondary and tertiary should only be a tiny
fraction of all the roads.

Hi everybody,
I use a similar approach to Eugene.
Smallest roads = unclassified if industrial or with few houses, residential if
the area is, well, residential...
Biggest roads and main links crossing the city = primary
The others secondary or tertiairy.
Trunc roads should be reserved for
