While searching the internet for arbitration in a case where "local wisdom" appeared to conflict with OSM data I came across the Kent County Council Highways Gazetteer. It contains a "complete" list of roads in Kent, including their reference, road number, name, official classification, parish and length.
It's a PDF file, linked from here: http://www.kent.gov.uk/roads_and_transport/transport_policies/road_status/adopted_and_private_streets.aspx I would like to use this document to classify minor roads correctly as "unclassified" or "tertiary", add the official road number, at least to the "tertiary" roads, i.e. C-roads, and possibly "access=permissive" where the road is a privately maintained road (assuming unhindered access etc. as described on the Wiki). There is no sign of any OS-encumbrances; there is no real location information in the file. The KCC (together with district councils I assume) can be considered a fairly authoritative source for this information. Would it be OK to derive tagging in this way? Should we get explicit permission from KCC first? Anyone got any experience with this, or example emails for this kind of request?
