Hello Jay,

help on osm is always welcome, but please stay on the things alreade done and finshed.

There existed a wiki page to the icelandic road sytem. Unfortunately the page needs an update of course, but it defines how the roads should be classified.

The missing link for understanding the system is the regularly (anual) provided excel list by vegagerdin where you can find the road numbers and the network information. Acording to this list the icelandic road system is correctly mapped in OSM. At least for the 1/2/3 digit roads as you call it. But in the latest list there are new road network qualifications where an update of the osm has to be defined (the roads are allready mapped the importance of them).

If you realy want to update the wiki page, I would suggest to write an overpass querry and filter it for the needed information and import it (regullary) into the Wiki. Manually update the wiki page doesn´t make any sense.

To you suggestion about 1/2/3 digit roads:
Some roads with a 3 digit number belong to the 2 digit network. You find that all in the vegagerdin road list.

some usefull links:
http://vegasja.vegagerdin.is/

http://www.vegagerdin.is/vegakerfid/vegaskra/

I hope this information helps to understand the icelandic mapping as it actually is

Hello Jay.

I'm trying to understand what issues you are solving?

We are working on uploading the administrative divisions, the capital
area is already well mapped in that regard.

For the roads then they are administered by the National Highway
Authority - Vegagerðin, or by municipalities.

hello, i am Jay from Greece, i would like to help with icelandic roads
(wikiproject Iceland and actual mapping)

i am thinking we should have a table for administrative divisions
(complete with name, admin levels, link to relations etc) and a table
about road classes..

take a look at the greek wiki i helped build:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Greece

there are also separate pages about motorways/national
highways/provincial roads (as defined by law)

as understand there are 2 separate classification systems in Iceland:
-S/T/H/L/F system
-1/2/3/4-digit numbered roads

We should decide which one we use and what is trunk, primary etc

Is there any laws defining distinctive road classes (or what is
national and what provincial?)

for matters like this we made a poll in the greek forum, maybe we
should also do this here

thank you

i know about Vegagerðin, i have downloaded the map

i was just wondering if there is a law defining road classes
(primary, secondary, national, provincial etc)

the road signs have all the same font and colors, as if all roads are on
the same level

as i understand 3-digit roads are region specific (so maybe they are
considered provincial?)

i believe the wiki needs some additions to be easier to navigate, something
like a whole paragraph "Roads in Iceland" with some general info and a road
class table, with links to the road-specific secondary pages, where there
are lists of the roads

i also think these lists belong to osm wiki and not wikipedia
