Roads which are restricted to specific vehicle classes (e.g. no pedestrians, no slow vehicles like bicycles or mopeds or tractors) are additionally tagged with motorroad=yes. This differentiation has proven very versatile in Germany and Italy basically leaving no tagging gaps for road classification. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
