I assume routing software will prefer a trunk road over a primary road?
The way I've done it, primary roads are the main thoroughfare through an
area - the road most locals would choose when going *through*. I've
upgraded a few roads to primary due to their importance. You could

Can someone local verify this?

Sorry I missed this.

if it will happen between 3 and 7 weeks from now, perfect!

I often wonder which tag to put on certain POIs and sometimes resort to

Totally agree,
the more tracks the better.
On your number 2, do we have time stamps as well for the tracks that are
submitted? Is this normally stored in the GPX trances?
If we have loads of tracks, that's potentially very useful data!
I think when I go back there and I buy a GPS, I might drive
What about downgrading it to a track to reflect its de facto standard? :)

I'm assuming this is Balintawak toll barrier:
Finding this route slightly peculiar, I followed McArthur highway and

I'm just a bit puzzled,
how come, when Magalang and Arayat appears fine here:

If you zoom out, both Magalang and Arayat disappears, despite there is

Maning,
I've done almost all the major streets of Magalang, which is just near
Angeles, and a few bits and bobs in Angeles (such as the expressway
exit), Arayat and Mexico. I am new to OSM, so I am learning while doing.
Can you direct me to a couple of examples of unconnected intersections
