Hi, I have been trying to map some of the roads around my area. I have seen quite a few types of roads around here.
1) Asphalted roads that are wide enough just for a single car/small truck. There are no shoulders to these kind of roads and the road boundaries are usually hard walls built around farm land. so if some other car comes in the opposite direction, you certainly have to go back 100-200meters to let it pass. 2) Asphalted roads that are wide enough for a car/small truck, but with shoulders. so it is possible to let the car in opposite side to pass by moving over to road shoulder. 3) Asphalted roads that are wide enough for 2 cars or a bus. typically connects 2 main villeges. I tried to look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tagging_Roads_in_India to see how these roads can be classified. It looks to me that one way to classify this would be for (1) => tag is as residential road and put lanes=1 (2) => tag it as unclassified road and put lanes=2 (3) => tag it as tertiary road and put lanes = 2. Could somebody comment if this is alright ? (i still can't make out if Tagging_Roads_in_India page contains a number of suggestions from different people which is still under discussion or if there is some consensus. if there is consensus, can someone familiar with it put a summary at the end of the page). thanks, arun
