There have been a couple of changes to the road hierarchy in central Edinburgh recently, partly related to the introduction of the trams, and also a trial cycle/pedestrian route along George Street. There were also some relic classifications from the tram construction where roads changed priority during the construction works.
Rather than initiate an edit war, I thought it might be better to set up a wiki page to discuss and hopefully reach a consensus that can be implemented on the map. This is at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Edinburgh/CityCentreRoads - which has had some input, but opening up to a wider audience via the lists. It would be good to get input from others regarding a sensible hierarchy, and possible experience from other UK towns and cities. Some particular questions include: - Do we base this on access for motor vehicles? - Or base on OS classification (which may be incorrect/out of date)? - Should a main route for public transport but not motor vehicles be primary/secondary/tertiary in OS parlance, or does the fact that motor vehicles are prohibited suggest this should be unclassified? - Should these roads be tagged with "access=no, bicycle=yes, foot=yes, etc" or just "motor_vehicle=no" Thanks for any input on this.
