I can understand that mapathon contributors want to map high speed, and rather apply =road to everything instead of doing qualified guessing of wether to tag as path, unclassified, residential, pedestrian, or higher ranking roads. Sometimes I see tagging that is pure laziness, i.e., a bridge tagged road connecting two ways of tertiary. Such tagging laziness breaks routing. Further, large areas mapped as road will show up on OSM mapnik, but might not show on external data consumers
As long as the tag is still being used, a warning about temporary nature should be given Also Brazil have, as many countries a tagging convention regarding highways, all armchair mappers should take their time to check up such tagging conventions when mapping far from their local area Sent from my iPhone > On 27 Sep 2016, at 12:56, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I've cced the HOT mailing list as I do a fair amount of validation and > highway=road is one of the most common warnings I see from new mappers > mapping in maperthons. > > Can we improve the training or validation? > > Thanks John > >> On 27 September 2016 at 09:21, Aun Johnsen <li...@gimnechiske.org> wrote: >> >> > On Sep 27, 2016, at 09:00, tagging-requ...@openstreetmap.org wrote: >> > >> > Sadly this issue was closed >> > >> > https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2742 >> > >> > -- >> > Holger >> > >> There have been quite a few issues and tickets regarding this over a time >> period, with little or no results, that is why I have resolved taking this >> to the list.
