The orange (maybe brownish) roads can be secondary, tertiary or

well and they cover what I would say are secondary, tertiary or
unclassified. Secondary have reference numbers.
The NPE maps are available as a background to Potlatch and you can
zoom in a little further and trace directly over them.
For your information.... When I copied from NPE in Suffolk and Essex I
always used the highway=road;source=NPE tagging to indicate where it
came from and that it needed a local review. I wouldn't copy
references for roads (reference and classification changes) and where
the join a road that didn't exist on NPE I leave a gap between the NPE
traced road and the new road to avoid guessing if the road does or
does not join to the bypass or whatever.
Others then review the road classification and references based on
their local knowledge and change the tagging to tertiary etc.
Basically the only assumption I was making was that if there was a
road there in 1945 there is probably a road there now and it geometry
does not need to be resurveyed but everything else does need a review.
Possibly adding the review=no tag would be helpful.

I was trying to fill in a few gaps in what I thought was where by
looking at the Out Of Copyright OS Maps at http://www.npemap.org.uk
Would it be right to suggest that all Orange Roads on this old map
(should they still exist) including any obvious diversions are either
Secondary (and should have numbers), or Tertrary Roads. and should be
on OSM as such. Scales is far too small to trace but it might be
useful for checking classification, and finding a few missing
roads....
Did not find what I wanted as it was not there back in 1940, So I'm
going to have to get out and do it on the ground instead :)
(Does the Village on the map between Meopham, Sole Street, A2 and
Southfleet and Sole Street have a name?)
If this is a silly idea you can all shout at once.
