Let me explain in more detail, sorry for not doing that the first time: Your graph from a few days that more and more slow roads are being adding, does not necessarily means that we miss a lot of slow roads. Perhaps people are just adding cycleways and sidewalks next to existing major roads. This will also make it difficult to compare numbers from other sources (thinking of frtutellake's approach that you now mention). Perhaps they do not have those separate ways/lines for sidewalks/cycleways.
Total length is also a problem when one source represents a highway with 1 way/line and the other uses 2 lines. So my "be careful" means that you should not compare 2 road networks from different systems without knowing all the details, nor that you can draw conclusions from more and more slow roads being added. Of course there is no problem with an overlay to find differences. regards m On Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 12:56 PM, joost schouppe <joost.schou...@gmail.com> wrote: > Marc, > > The way to do this would be to overlay NGI data with our data.
