Just another point, I think we should be extending major roads to ferry terminals so to ensure network connectivity across islands. I've been noticing the prevailing practice in the Philippines is to end a major road at the port gates, but this breaks connectivity of the road network across islands at a closer zoom level. I'm citing examples of major roads extending to ferry terminals in places like the US (e.g. US-10 connecting with the Maniwotoc-Ludington ferry, roads connecting with ferries across the Puget Sound in Washington State) Canada (e.g. the Trans-Canada connecting with the Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay and Sydney-Port aux Basques ferries), Russia (e.g. roads connecting A-376 and A-392 with the Vanino-Kolmsk ferry), and Sweden and Finland (e.g. E12 between Umeå and Vaasa across the Gulf of Bothnia) to justify this change in practice, though elsewhere, especially where OSM classifications matched well with official designations often indicated by route number signs with a specific numbering scheme and/or color combination, like with most of Europe (including the UK), Japan and Indonesia, it’s fine to end major classifications outside the port gates and tag the roads inside the ferry terminal with lower classifications (usually service, sometimes tertiary for the major access roads). In those places, their roads networks are connected well even if it's only true at higher zoom, or the scale for a printed country or region map.
