I think the same as you as the use of unclassified, but there is another group who use unclassified for roads in industrial areas, which are apparently wider than residential roads in their circumstances. This mail from the australian osm list shows the different opinions and mentions the European perspective on residential http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2009-August/002596.html and some further notes from the phillipines list http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01685.html
These confirm the varied use of "unclassified". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Navit-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/navit-users
