This applies also to road tagging. Instructions in the tasking manager are only
one step to complete the global task of mapping for an area.
We need a collectiv approach, a systematic revision of road tagging.
Organisers of mapathonns, and later Project managers, should monitor road
addition and assure that the tagging is corrected appropriately by experienced
mappers.
As John just said, it is important to classify appropriately for the various
Navigation Applications to find the appropriate roads to connect between two
points.

Objet : Re: [HOT] note to Project Managers: Highway=road
But how many tiles get validated and how many validators check for highway=road
every time?
I'm not sure I do.

Some projects of HOT should re-define their instructions. Also I think it would
be interesting a specific HOT taggin' in some parts of a mapathon or similar
(for example in phase one , when you have 50 unexperienced mappers making
roads with bad imagery, it would useful a specific tagging highway=road or
something like that). Then validators can specifiy the category of that road
knowing the country and their possibilities with normal OSM tagging.And a
"special simplified version" of ID with only the two, three buttons you have to
touch to take the keys and the values of this project would be useful too.

Currently there are HOT projects that include in the instructions the words
"If you are unsure of what tag to assign to a road, use the provisional
highway=road tag."
Yes but many routing systems ignore this these. When we mapped with GPS traces
we used highway=road because you didn't know if it was a motorway or a footway
with steps and that's why many routing systems ignore them and JOSM validation
flags them.
I would suggest if in doubt use highway=unclassified for instructions.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
