Tyler,
Have you considered using the 1:20k data published by the Manitoba
government? I think the license is compatible with OSM's, but you'd have to
have a look at it.
https://mli2.gov.mb.ca/ (free registration required for downloading)
(Click on "Topographic Maps" -> "1:20,000 Seamless")
The transportation file has roads with 10 to 20 classes....
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Hello,
I'm ALMOST done importing the entirety of the 062N* area of Canvec data
and wanted to pass along something I observed:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.171&lon=-100.413&zoom=11&layers=M
The Canvec data had all the numbered roads listed as Primary. However, in
the case of MB the general rule is 1-2 digit road numbers are "Provincial
Trunk Highways" (ie primary), and 3 digit road numbers are "Provincial
Roads" (ie secondary). Easy enough to fix.
The one that I'm somewhat mixed on is the classification of all the minor
roads in rural MB; Canvec has all the all the gray roads in the example
link above listed as "tertiary". Given that I know these roads to be
nothing more than dirt/gravel roads between farm properties I have
downgraded the lot of them to highway=unclassified.
Given the definition of unclassified roads, I felt this to be more
appropriate
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified):
From the wiki:
In a rural context, these can be distinguished from tertiary roads by:
1 lack of (or lower) classification (if your country has a
classification level for tertiary)
2 being narrow, such that vehicles must slow down to pass in opposite
directions
3 being unpaved (in larger/poorer countries)
4 being more for access than for through-traffic between towns and
villages
2,3, and 4 definitely apply for these roads.
I figure this makes sense and just wanted to see if anyone else noticed
this type of thing with the Canvec data in their areas.
Tyler
