I just "downgraded" some roads in Dubbo which had been rated as highly as some of the named highways. They possibly should have been downgraded to tertiary, not secondary, but I don't know Dubbo well enough to decide. Anyone live in Dubbo or been there enough to check the internal road system? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
