Where are you thinking of that should have more blue? Outside the cities, very little of the national road network (except for the N3) is divided highway as far as I can tell. Cheers, Adrian On Sat, 2009-03-21 at 21:44 +0200, brendan barrett wrote: > Thanks, that all makes sense. In that case, th

Thanks, that all makes sense. In that case, there should probably be a lot more blue on the national routes. I suppose that the freeway sections can only really be marked from ground observation - hence all the green. Regards, Brendan On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 6:41 PM, Grant Slater wrote: > > Mar

Please forgive the stupid question... but what is the criteria for determining where a national route is a freeway, and when it isn't? I see a lot of green national routes (highway=trunk) on the OSM site, and i'm wondering why I am not seeing a lot of blue instead (highway=motorway)? Regards, Bre
