Hi Joe, highway=road definitely renders thicker than highway=unclassified. This value is considered work-todo, which is nearly an error. It is meant to make someone who has the needed knowledge create meaningful tags. Don't tag for the renderer, though.
If you are sure that the way is unpaved, mark it as surface=unpaved. Don't tag something that isn't there. Interpretation of data is the user's job. In Tunisia unpaved should be the default, IMO, at least outside of the bigger cities. In this case, the surface is unclear. Even in Tunis lots of roads are unpaved (or were when I was last there). In the tourist centers, the situation can be completely different. happy mapping -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 15:08:44 -0700 (PDT) > Von: Joe Richards <[email protected]> > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: [OSM-newbies] Tunisia: converting highway=unclassified to > highway=road for sketches from aerial imagery > > >> I've inadvertently made many of the streets/roads highway=unclassified > only > > >> to discover that this is not actually the most generic/vanilla tag, and > It worked nicely, I was quite lucky though since my ways/nodes were all > close to others from Yahoo aerial imagery, none from survey AFAIK...
