Would it be useful to validate our classification and labelling of roads in OSM against the relevant WIkipedia article[2]. If the Wikipedia article is wrong or the information isn't sourced then it would be helpful to update the WIkipedia article. It would be useful to create a relation for the road and link it to the Wikipedia article using the 'wikipedia' tag. See 'External references'[1] This should ensure that the tagging in OSM doesn't regress for lack of proper references for the tagging and Wikipedia provides a much richer ways of providing references than OSM.
