I led the discussion at the Highway Tagging workshop on the last day of SOTM Africa. There was quite a bit of discussion and agreement that the existing tagging can be frustrating, however, we did not generate any new proposals for additional tags. We did agree on some changes to the Africa Highway Tagging Guide <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa> which has now been updated to reflect not only Functional Class but also Construction class and width. I am in the process of preparing a one page reference guide for use in carto-parties and mapathons and by new mappers.
General changes or clarifications: A residential road serves people who live adjacent to it. An unclassified road connects settlements and collects traffic from residential roads, tracks, and paths A track allows people to access agriculture areas, but not connect to a settlement A path can function like an unclassified highway, but is restricted to foot traffic or 2 wheeled vehicles Highway = tertiary or secondary may be paved, but not by default. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
