Hi,
Let me see if I can find a couple of good examples (combination of
aerial/ground location) from the region where we're currently running a
ground survey (eastern Uganda). Not seen anything like the motorway -
the example looks pretty European.
When in doubt, I usually tell our mappers to use `highway=unclassified`
if it looks wide enough to allow regular traffic to pass (hopefully
cars, at the very least motorbikes), and isn't a dead end.
best,
Paul

what this Highway Tag Africa wiki page says is that you classify a road related
to its importance.
yes I got this point from the Wiki. Its just, when you are doing HOT
mapping, you normally have just a satellite image. So on the ground
photos of streets are helpful to get an impression of the situation on
the ground, but it might also be much more helpful to see examples of
satellite images.
I know, the classification does not only depend from the road condition
that I will see on the image. But it could help for some situations. The
Link to the Bing Satellite picture was very helpful for example.
