Dear all,

I'm working with some roads in Central area in Hong Kong. Des Voeux Road
Central is considered one of the most important roads in the area which I
tagged it as highway=secondary, however another editor has repeatedly changed
it to highway=service on the fact that that road is closed to motor vehicles
except buses. An edit war has appeared.

Here is the relevant changesets and ways:

My recollection from when I was there about 10 years ago was "primary", actually - and that's what OSM had at around that time: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/113u http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=88695241 .  Unless things have changed significantly on the ground (always possible - 10 years is a long time in Hong Kong) I'd definitely have thought somewhere at the higher end would make sense.  I would never have thought of it as a service road.

In case anyone's wondering "how on earth can you remember one road from 10 years ago" the HSBC building on that road is a huge landmark (in all senses of the word).

Best Regards,

Andy
