After the discussion [1] about routing issues inside/around hamlets and villages, I reviewed my mapping I've done until now in #2768 HOT project (Nigeria), doing the following:
- if two or more unclassified/track highways reach a village from different directions and are not connected between, I tried to connect them: a) if buildings/huts were not too much close one each other: I drew highway(s) (=residential) inside the village, connecting the external roads b) if not, but there was at least one track near/around the village linking the external roads, I mapped it. c) if none of the above, I drew a "logical" road outside the village tagging it with highway=road and fixme="confirm (routing issue)" (I think that the definition of "highway=road" tag [2] is appropriate for this context, but maybe it could be a problem for rendering and/or routing alghoritms: if so we could tag them with "highway=track"?). The last solution was applied only if: - without that junction, routing solution should propose (at least) several chilometers more - the ground as seen from the aerial images seems reasonably travelled by a 4x4 vehicle - the lenght of this junction is not so much (almost always less than 100 meters) I'm very interested in your opinion, my work is easily checkable with this overpass query [3] which extracts all the highway=road in the selected area: so, if the community doesn't agree with my solution, it's very fast to delete or to change tagging for all these specific highways.
