I'm not sure I understand you, unless you've made a typo: With "crossing roads", I assumed you meant the Celestijnenlaan (<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/72912809> and northern counterpart). However, these both are tagged as residential (and not as unclassified)?? [*] (Note: Tagging the small way as residential seems also the solution Gerard suggests in his reply) [snip section about possibly adding other tags] Regards, Klaas [*] In fact, you are partly right in the sense that way 72912809 (in fact the whole Celestijnenlaan south of Koning Boudewijnlaan) shouldn't be tagged as residential, as it's full of university buildings and companies... _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
