Hi Emmor
While I coordinated the Mali OSM Response in 2013, I did create the original
version of the highway tagging for Mali to take account of the importance of
the roads and tell contributors from northern countries to not classify looking
at the condition of the road.
Later, contributors discussed about Africa in general and proposed to rename
the wiki page as Africa Highway Tagging Guide to represent all of Africa.
Villages and towns are of various sizes. To decide what is a residential or a
tertiary road, is not always easy. We need to decide which road should be
reclassified to tertiary to establish a hierarchy that make sense.
At the beginning of the wiki page, I did add a note asking contributors to come
on this list and discuss changes.
Sorry but I am a volunteer and I could not pay the flight to be part of the
discussions at the SOTM Africa.
I invite you and the others to give us more details on the discussions and the
modifications you made to the wiki page.
regard
Pierre

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 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 pathsA track allows people to access
agriculture areas, but not connect to a settlementA path can function like an
unclassified highway, but is restricted to foot traffic or 2 wheeled
vehiclesHighway = tertiary or secondary may be paved, but not by default.
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

I seem to recall some one posting recently that following discussion at the
SOTM Africa in Uganda 2017 some changes had been made to the wiki.
Could some one highlight these.
Thanks John
