He's assuming it's a objective way to map residential streets, main through fares generally don't have traffic calming devices. However that doesn't always hold water here since those ways might be the main shopping area of small towns, so you need to distinguish them from alternative routes as well. I don't think this can be completely tagged in an objective manner like that simply because some streets that are now less important for traffic are still very important for pedestrian traffic and where pedestrians want to drive to before they become pedestrians. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
