Maybe have a look at the "Tagging standards" discussion in the
archives at
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-za/2007-October/thread.html
I personally would not tag a road as motorway if it is not really a
motorway (or freeway in SA terms).
Quoting "Andrew Gillespie" <[email protected]>:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/South_African_Tagging_Guidelines
that road is a motorway, I have driven it several times, trunk is
obviously a mistake

Hi Johan
Saw something similiar a while ago. I wasn't as nice as you though,
I didn't ask, I did some research and just fixed it, if "fix" is
the right word.
I think you are right though, makes sense. For the average user
though, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.
If someone has a guidelines URL specific to our regional Q's, I'd
like to see it too :)

Hi,
does anyone know why the N2 between George and Jeffreys Bay is
tagged as highway=trunk, and not highway=motorway. According to the
wiki trunk roads need not be divided (the case in N2), but is
typically managed by central government (should be `provincial').
But the N2 is actually a national road... not divided, I agree. Or
should we not consider the route code (and ownership) as guides?
Maybe someone can shed light, please? Or just direct me to a
specific URL where I can read on how we SHOULD be tagging our roads
more correctly (if it indeed should be `trunk' ).
Thanks in advance.
Johan
