Hello Ralf
you pinpoint to a situation which is not always clear.
First of all. we ty to keep ourselves to the East African Highway
tagging wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines
Different mappers judge different how to tag a highway. Out of my own
experience lots of mappers (and validators) struggle with how to tag a
highway. Looking to the importance, the routing, and the width of the
highway, which is hard to measure from a satellite image, we have to
decide. A big number of new mappers are joining us and have different
ideas (nor no idea at all) how to tag a highway. I've seen taggings as
secondary highway as a connection to 2 hamlets and so on. So we try to
tag as good as possible, but often it is a (calculated)guess which tag
is relevant. Take also in account that there is a huge time pressure on
these disaster mapping projects, so sometimes you accept the tagging as
they were made. When there is no time pressure you can take a look to
each highway and decide.
I hope you get an understanding how we have to deal with this subject.
Best regards

Interesting when compared to the openstreetmap data.
There are many POIs I would like to see on Openstreetmap too, also
boundarys and place names.
I also noticed a different tagging scheme: Car, Moto and Foot. I would
guess that Roads not passable for a car but by foot and moto should be
highway=path in OSM.
But most of them are still tagged as unclassified or residential. Is
there a reason for that or will you change them later?
