+1, and you can't see restrictions, surface quality and material,
oneways, etc. on them. That's why there is highway=road. You should
avoid to tag highway=specific-highway-class if you don't know the
location from being on the ground.

Please tag roads derived from aerial imagery as

highway=road

so it is clear what kind of information about the road we have (mainly
the position as it appeared in a several year old orthographic photo).


cheers,
Martin
