Just had a look at the VicRoads website - they only classify roads as freeway, arterial, or other. Do other state bodies do similar? At least as far as rural roads go, it would make sense to match the government classifications. That doesn't really help us with primary, secondary and tertiary though. Then again, I just found this from Glen Eira council (where the streets I mentioned are found): http://www.gleneira.vic.gov.au/Files/Register_of_public_roads.pdf Adding this onto the above list we would get: highway=motorway: Vicroads "freeway" highway=trunk: Vicroads "arterial" highway=primary: Glen Eira "collector" highway=secondary: Glen Eira "link" highway=tertiary: ??? highway=residential: Glen Eira "access" They classify these roads as: Normanby Rd: Link Neerim Rd: Collector Glen Huntly: Collector/Link Bambra Rd: Link Kambrook Rd: Link Booran Rd: Link But: is combining state and council road classifications a feasible approach? Presumably not every council will have a web-accessible register of roads with this kind of classification. Comments?
