There is a philosophy in some parts that the roads of a particular class
should form a continuous network with other roads of that class or
higher, with no 'dead ends'. So primary roads should link to other
primary roads or to trunks or motorways. In UK terms,
highway=residential is equivalent to highway=unclassified with the
additional attribute of having housing along it. So in theory, this link
road could be considered highway=unclassified.
On the other hand the wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway#Link_roads consistently
associates _link values with the higher of the two classifications
connected, so primary_link is correct for linking a primary to a
residential road.
Basically, these two philosophies are incompatible, and you're entitled
to choose whichever one you prefer. And therefore to ignore any Osmose
errors that do not apply to your chosen philosophy.

Hello,
Osmose reports an error with reason "Bad topology way level 2" [1] at
this place [2] and I don't know how to resolve it.
There are no buildings around that piece of highway (I'm talking about
the small segment of road, not the residential or the primary highway
around) and its sole purpose is clearly to link the primary and the
residential road.
So, according to table on the wiki page [3], it should be tagged as
primary_link, but then Osmose reports a topology error.
Am I missing something ?
How would you tag it ?
Thx.
