Hi folks,
Before editing the wiki on something as fundamental as highway tags, I
thought I'd suggest some rewording here for the tertiary and
unclassified highways, since some confusion arises since everything is
at least "L".
Highway=tertiary
Current:
Unclassified (or "Local") roads whose importance for through
traffic is quite high. This can be the case both in urban and
rural areas.
Proposed:
Local "L" roads whose importance for through traffic is quite
high. This can be the case both in urban and rural areas. The
choice of applying "tertiary" or "unclassified" in Ireland is
subjectively chosen by you, the mapper.
Highway=unclassified
Current:
No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically
form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network.
Note: This is not a marker for roads where we still need to
choose a highway tag.
Proposed:
Local "L" roads of low importance for through traffic. These
roads are the lowest form of the public road network.
Note: Don't be misled by the name: Ireland does not have
"unclassified" roads, we instead use this tag to indicate
different levels of important in L roads. This is also not a
marker for roads where we still need to choose a highway tag;
use highway=road for that.
Thoughts?
Andrew
