Aren’t major lines usually part of the longer-distance transmission system, and minor lines are local distribution? Like highway=primary vs highway=residential?
That seems like a useful and important distinction, and it usually goes along with the difference in voltage and the heights of the things supporting the wires. It would be nice to have a different category for the private cables or lines to individual buildings or between private buildings, equivalent to highway=service, so that these could be easily filtered out from maps and schematics of the transmission / distribution system On Sun, Oct 21, 2018 at 6:24 PM François Lacombe <fl.infosrese...@gmail.com> wrote: > Le dim. 21 oct. 2018 à 09:21, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> > a écrit : > >> >> > On 20.
