I'm very envious... if only I could say the same of the "large majority" round here. :) Unfortunately, if you do it that way round, you can't highlight quiet roads until you're confident that everywhere has been surveyed. In other words, if you only tag the busy roads, and a given road doesn't have the tag, you can't tell whether a) this road is quiet, or b) the traffic level hasn't been surveyed yet (Of course, the same applies in reverse!) There's also the problem that you're adding an implication to an existing tag ("highway=unclassified is quiet unless otherwise specified") and the wiki-fiddlers get very cross when you do that. And I could kind of see their point - there are zillions of highway=unclassified out there and it's a bit late to say "actually, it now means this". cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Quiet-lanes-and-one-car-per-minute-tp5943641p5943907.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
