Based on the current agreement on the highway classification, "routes" should maintain their type along their length. Now the road types are often assigned after TIGER classification so different road's pieces have different types [1]. Instead, the same type should be used along the whole road (trunk for WI 57 case, I believe) and other tags should be used to refine road properties, like number of lanes, smoothness, maxspeed etc. [1] http://osm.org/go/ZVf4SNj Ivan. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
