I we follow the Highway Tag Africa wiki page I initiated in 2013, narrow
highways should be evaluaed on the type of traffic possible - highway=
residential in residential areas if at least passable by 4 wheels- highway=path
if only motorcycles, bicyles and foot traffic is possible.

The additions made to the wiki page a few months ago about the width add
confusion. I think that we should simply move this in a separate section giving
guidance on possible widths that represent the various types of highways.

I'm not even sure if this is the best place to raise this but Africa covers a
lot of countries.
We have some agreement on how to map highways in general Africa but narrow
residential highways are a problem. I suspect highway=residential plus a width
tag might be best.
South Africa I think has local mappers who able to resolve any problems but for
the rest of Africa given the large number of armchair mappers mapping there
some guidance would be nice.
Some mappers use highway=service generously.
Is it possible to reach some sort of general concenus?
Thoughts?
