This is the same problem as Openmtbmap sending bicycles away from highway=trunk roads and is really an ambiguity in the tag. In the US and Germany it is used for less-than-motorway roads but in Britain, although some roads tagged that way are like that, it is very often more-than-primary. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
