Just to add an example to "classification is difficult": In Ontario, most small communities are _not_ served by a provincial highway as a result of administrative reorganizations. We have distinct communities of 10000 people (Uxbridge, Elmira, Smithville to give a few examples) which are only served by regional roads (third administrative step, after federal and province). --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
