I renamed this [OSM-dev] Renderer issue: highway=service and service=driveway?
to a more pertinent title.
This discussion refers to the wiki page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa
The recent discussion on the Dev list.
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Renderer-issue-highway-service-and-service-driveway-tt5791858.html
For the HOT community to understand about this discussion, some people on the
Dev list expressed
incomprehension about the fact we have a distinct page to classify highways in
Africa. Suggestion is made to discuss on the Tag discussion list.
I think that it will be more appropriate to discuss this subject on the HOT
list were people have decided to adopt the Highway Tag Africa wiki page.
From the Mali Activation in 2013, I made a proposition of highway
classification for Mali.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mali_Highway_tag.
After discussions on the HOT list, it was later decided to
extend to all africa an to rename the page. This schema is used for various
African countries by the HOT community.
User:Dieterdreist has also opened discussion on Talk:Highway_Tag_Africa.. I
have invited him to come and discuss on the HOT list.
Below are links to previous discussions on the HOT discussion list about this
highway typology.
Rename to Highway Tag Africa

Kenyan or African OSM community?
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Kenyan-or-African-OSM-community-td5774556.html
These wiki pages recommend to use this classification.

See the link below about a discussion on the Dev-list were people express
incomprehension about the fact we have a distinct page. We are invited
to go on the Tag discussion

The images in the Highway tag usage wiki page give implicitely instructions to
take care of the quality of the road to classify. But it is stated at the
beginning of the page, that it is sometimes useful to adapt highway tag usage
to the local physical conditions.
yes, we could remove the images altogether or complement them with different
ones from different regions in order to put them into context. Lets discuss
this in tagging.
Btw.: there was also a voting about the highway system (physical vs. grid
hierarchy):
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Highway_key_voting_importance
and this is still reflected in the definition: "The highway tag is the main tag
used for identifying any kind of
road, street or path. The highway type helps indicate the importance of
the highway within the road network as a whole."
cheers,
Martin
