Consider South Bank Road (OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/47.8602/-117.6751, Google: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.8555045,-117.6814056,14z). It doesn't connect anywhere to anywhere, so it's not tertiary or above, but "highway=service" doesn't seem appropriate for a road that provides access to about a hundred scattered houses and two little-known parks, and "highway=track" seems wrong for eight miles of paved two-lane public road. Or if that seems too built-up, how about Glenwood Road (OSM:https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/46.9380/-117.2812, Google: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9391634,-117.2896051,14z). Four miles of high-quality two-lane gravel road, providing access to some farms and a home or two. There's a definite need for a road level between "this is how you travel from town A to town B" and "this is how you make your final approach to your destination". "highway=unclassified" seems like it works well there. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
