That would be for the Australian mapping community to decide, to

There is already some guidance for Australian roads

And not to forget the East African guide

I'm sure the hierarchy
trunk/primary/secondary/tertiary/<something_else>/residential
with a side of service types is general enough that all
countries can map their own system to it. I feel no need to
force any country's own system upon any other country, or to
make it the same all over the world.
I largely agree. I wouldn't mind country-specific values similar
to the advantage that the UK has on this as previously stated,
then let the wiki work out what counts as largely equivalent in
character for the renderers to work with. I feel like that would
help a lot on the front and back end of it.
So how do you go about setting country-specific values?
In Australia, it's not uncommon for a Primary (& in some cases,
Trunk!) road to be a single lane dirt road!, & it would be nice to be
able to show them with the importance that they are to local
residents of that area.
Is it simply a matter of specifying road types under the "Australia"
page & hoping that people read them?
Thanks
Graeme
