Just to add some 2 cents from Germany: highway=unclassified is used for minor roads through commercial/industrial areas according to our country features definition. So changing hwy=unclassified to hwy=road on the OSM dataset in Germany would probably target the revers numbers: 80% correctly tagged industrial/commercial roads. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
