Within the same geographic area? I mean sure, there's a trunk in Grove Hill, Alabama which is worse than a primary in Tampa, Florida. But so long as there aren't any trunks in Grove Hill, Alabama which are worse than primaries in Grove Hill, Alabama, I think the routers and renderers should do okay. If you want to get people to tag "more than two lanes" and "a barely-existent shoulder", I think you'd have much more success creating tags for those features than convincing people that their area of the country isn't allowed to have any trunks. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
