We could start with Brasil, France, UK, and Czechia. But in France and in Brasil the trunk definition is not set yet ...
I've started to use a new tag in Brittany : traffic ; low-intermediate-heavy-trunk, to show the amount of vehicles per day. Probably that in combination of other tags (lanes, surface, width) it could replace the highway tag. It is probably easier to make new tags than changing old tags :) djakk Le ven. 23 févr. 2018 à 20:44, Matej Lieskovský <lieskovsky.ma...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Could we perhaps start a wiki page to collect information on how every > country classifies roads?
