HI Jherome, I forgot to add, I think we should also include tagging the official legal classifications of roads using the "designation" key: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation
I think we can have the following values: "expressway", "national", "provincial", "city", "municipal", and "barangay". We might also need to break down the "national" value into "national_primary", "national_secondary", and "national_tertiary" following the DPWH classes. ~Eugene On Sun, May 16, 2021 at 5:02 AM Jherome Miguel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, everyone, > > It's been a month since the last discussion on road classifications, that > time regarding special considerations for major roads within certain > islands as well as missing road links and bypass/diversion roads under > construction.
