Hi,

after a long break from OSM I discoverd the "keep right" website.

http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?db=osm_XD&zoom=14&lat=14.40516&lon=120.96369&layers=B00T&ch=0%2C30%2C40%2C50%2C60%2C70%2C90%2C100%2C110%2C120%2C130%2C150%2C160%2C170%2C180%2C191%2C192%2C193%2C194%2C201%2C202%2C203%2C204%2C210%2C220%2C231%2C232%2C270%2C281%2C282%2C283%2C284%2C291%2C292%2C293&show_ign=1&show_tmpign=1
 

For those that don't know. And seeing so many errors spurred me into action 
again. Of course that was before reading this.
As for highway=unclassified, I don't see this of much use in the
Philippines.  Unclassified is a legal UK road type and not some road
we don't know the proper class.

Unclassified
"No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form
the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network.
Note: This is not a marker for roads where we still need to choose a
highway tag (see highway=road for roads that require classification).
"

For people tracing from sat images but are unsure of the actual road
type please use highway=road

Whilst editing errors I changed some from type "road" to "unclassified"

Using type "road" causes 3 problems.

1 The road type is not recognised by JOSM (so it reports errors)

2 Roads of type "road" are not rendered on maps, so I have had to fix roads 
where someone has traced a road using the SPOT5 data, thinking that the road 
was not already in the database, causing the road to be entered twice. Wasting 
peoples time and effort.

3 Routing software will not recognize the roads, and so won't route along them. 
I would rather travel along an incorrectly classified road, rather than have no 
route to a destination.

Just my 2 centavos

Cheers, Ian
