Thanks for having a go at it, Scottie. I was watching the conversation but didn't feel confident enough in my experience with highway tagging hierarchy.

As a local (Brisbane but not CBD), I agree the roads that directly connect to the motorway/expressway need to at least be classified as secondary, and that Mary and Adelaide could be demoted to tertiary. Adelaide st is an interesting case in that it is very important to bus traffic but doesn't connect to the road network like others.

Happy with its current state, and it looks quite similar to what Queensland Globe shows in its Roads and Railway layer, so there's some more validation...


Cheers

Still no response from anybody here, so might throw it out to the Tagging list to see what people world-wide think?

Thanks

    As I said then, to me personally, looking at Brisbane CBD:
    https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-27.4701/153.0343, (but the
    other major cities would be the same), the main grid of the
    busiest streets should probably be Secondary with smaller streets
    as either Tertiary or Minor / Unclass?

    One comment on the =secondary talk page pretty well agrees:
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dsecondary

    I'm amazed though that there appears never to have been any
    discussion on this previously?

    Just looking at other major cities, most of them seem to be a mix
    of primary & tertiary, with only a few secondary, except for
    Manhattan, NY, which has lots of both primary & secondary with not
    that many tertiary.

    Thanks

    Graeme

        Ah yes, sorry about that. My interest in highway
        classification is so
        low I don't think your email even registered with me.

        Had a read through the wiki on highway classification and it
        is pretty
        useless for deciding what to do in urban areas.

        Anyway let's give a week or so and then we can close that
        issue with a
        note that nobody has an opinion on the subject.
