Unclassified roads typically form the form > of the interconnecting grid network of residential and other Urban road ways." That definition confuses me. "Unclassified roads form...the...network of residential...ways". That doesn't make sense. Is "the network of residential and other urban road ways" highway=residential or highway=unclassified? Do you mean the following?: 1) highway=residential is used for roads that are in any "urban" or "non-urban" areas accessing or around residential areas" AND are not "important" enough to be highway=unclassified 2) highway=unclassified is used for roads that are in any "urban" area (including residential) that are more "important" than highway=residential AND are not "important" enough to be highway=tertiary _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
