Well, OK. 'Classification' then (which gives indications to who can use
it).
I still hold my position. Classification doesn't tell who can use it,
rather the purpose. Service road and corridor are clear about it: first
is for "last mile" servicing roads (and not who can drive there), the
second one is for connecting rooms inside the building.
How are they second class?
This is where secondary tags become useful. If renderers wants to
This is exactly why it is a second class citizen - it needs a secondary
tagging.
What would you say if we had:
highway=road
road:class=primary
road:link=yes
instead of highway=primary_link? And this sub-type has only 250k of
uses.
Highway=path may be as generic as say highway=road, highway=pedestrian
is more or less as luxury as motorway - and we have highway=footway for
all the other uses. Even path/footway difference is not clear, so we try
to fix it with adding surface.
show, for instance, all paths in one style, they easily can by
filtering just highway=footway* If they want to differentiate
different surfaces*, access restrictions etc, they can do that by
referring to secondary tags.
But you can also use surface for roads to differentiate them. Yet we
mainly rely on roads purpose, not the surface.
Pedestrian ways can be also serving different purposes (and so they
should have different rendering, as we do for roads):
- corridors
- cemetery, park and allotments alleys
- long-distance outdoor hiking trails
- sidewalk
- crossing
- via ferrata
and probably some other specific types for which we even have a proper
name for.
