I second Pierre's reference to the Highway Tag Africa. Residential streets mapped as highway=service an all too common error in African cities. Same problem here as for highway=living_street - a conversation we had a year ago: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2016-December/thread.html#77191 Mappers from more developed countries expect a residential street to look like their idea of a residential street - for example the lack of sidewalks confuses them... But it is a residential road nevertheless. I'm partial to always using surface=* but maybe sidewalk=no will also help make confused residential mappers happier with tagging a six-meter wide sandy residential street with no sidewalk as highway=residential... (I just wrote that and realize I wrote almost the same thing last year... I'm getting old https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2016-December/077195.html) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
