I wondered why so much tertiary, got the answer:
"My interpretation is that any fully paved road, with hard shoulders, gutters, enough width for parking on both sides plus two traffic lanes ... is tertiary. I except any road which is a dead end or merely a loop." I replied we did not tag quite like that. He/she retorted that then we were doing it wrong, and he/she had no problem with being different. "There are areas of the US which have a road hierarchy where "residential" makes sense and is even consistent with the actual UK model. I have yet to see anything in the documentation or the talk pages of the wiki which justifies such a drastic departure. " I said we should take it to the wiki since it is a community project, and there we left it... Unfortunately, the wiki contains a lot of different ideas on how to tag U.S. roads. It might be a good topic for a session at a U.S. SOTM to hammer out some clear and easy-to-apply standards. /Stellan _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
