... It seems your translation of the german wording is incorrect. In german it talks about 'Verkehrsbedeutung' which does not sound so bad to me. But 'importance' is something else IMO. A road's importance can be different for different traffic participants (or even non-participants), so it is too subjective. The following probably makes just as little sense, though ): "A way with the highway tag set is a road. The value of this tag reflects the purpose of the road within the road network of a country. As such, a proper definition of many of the values can only be found in each country project. Some of these country-specific definitions are listed in the International Equivalence table below."
