Buenas gente

 Al hilo de lo que dije en un anterior correo me gustaría informaros que
estos días en la lista de correo de tagging se está debatiendo sobre las
unclassified (un usuario planteaba que sus unclassified...tenían
referencia, lo que va en contra de la misma definición de "no
clasificada".  Pues bien, al explicar la situación española en la que las
categorías de OSM no encajan exactamente en la clasificación administrativa
en algunos casos se han dado respuestas interesantes que para los que no
seais de la lista de tagging os hago llegar:

 in Germany and Italy (and probably some more places) the difference is
between a road section without grade level intersections (and with ramps)
vs not. Trunk is used in these areas for roads that are built to a standard
similar to a motorway but not legally designated as motorway. It is not
about access restrictions (there is the orthogonal motorroad=yes property
for this).

One issue is that we have the "UK English is the language of tagging" rule
- which widely gets interpreted as "highway classification must be
force-fit into the UK system." The US system presents a complex problem for
this, since most highway classification is delegated to the states, and
they all have their own local schemes.

In many counties in the US, rural roads are unnamed and have only reference
numbers. A farm road may be "County Road 2200N" (which is a different
classification from, say, "County Highway 23", and typically shown only on
small blade signs, not banner signs) or "State Farm and Market Road #2134".
As I understand it, it would fit pretty closely with what "unclassified"
roads - which are a formal classification in the UK! - are understood to
be.

Near where I live, numbered 'US', 'State' and many 'County' roads do NOT
reflect the governing body - they are all managed by the state department
of transportation. Historically, they had other structures, but
responsibilities were reallocated. The 'US' highway numbers are coordinated
with neighbouring states, but the administration is by the state.  There
are also numbered but (nearly) unsigned 'reference routes' also maintained
by the state to 'State' highway standards. I say 'nearly' unsigned because
they do often have inconspicuous chaining markers with their numbers.

Rather than labeling the governing body, the 'US', 'State' and 'County'
designations around here reflect the grade of importance, expected level of
traffic and expected quality of maintenance.  Given that the designation
reflects relative importance rather than administrative jurisdiction,
despite the labeling, I'm comfortable with having US, State, and County
numbered roads be 'primary', 'secondary' and 'tertiary' - but in the places
where the counties number virtually every road, there is a need for a tier
below 'tertiary' - and 'unclassified' seems to be it; it's a working
category that might otherwise be 'quaternary.'

PD: Me he mirado un poco el mapa de la "piel de toro" y he "pintado" como
quedaría el mapa de la Red de Carreteras del Estado si se aplicara la
propuesta que propuse. Y ya que estamos os sugiero que hagais lo propio, en
breve podríamos tener un inventario o un mapa del trazado y categoría
"real" que podrían tener las carreteras nacionales en nuestro país. Aquí os
lo adjunto.
