I have used primary, secondary and tertiary to indicate relative traffic levels on roads in Ipswich rather than any strict classification. For example Landseer Road in Ipswich which is heavily with lorries, buses and commuters, so bad that the council have proposed building a new road to 'relieve' it. I have now been asked to justify my tagging by another mapper who has refered to the Map Features page which states that secondary is only for "Administrative classification "secondary" in the UK, generally linking smaller towns and villages". http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Highway
Ipswich on OSM http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.0538&lon=1.1763&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF My approach seems to be an approach taken elsewhere, for example in Bedford, where every secondary road does not have a B number? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.1344&lon=-0.4517&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF Should we update the Map Features page or should we follow it more carefully? Any thoughts? Peter _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
