<div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;">The images in the Highway tag usage wiki page give implicitely instructions to take care of the quality of the road to classify. But it is stated at the beginning of the page, that it is sometimes useful to adapt <b><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highways" title="Highways">highway</a> tag usage</b>
to the local physical conditions.</div></blockquote></div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4820228324gmail_extra">yes, we could remove the images altogether or complement them with different ones from different regions in order to put them into context. Lets discuss this in tagging.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">Btw.: there was also a voting about the highway system (physical vs. grid hierarchy): <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Highway_key_voting_importance">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Highway_key_voting_importance</a><br clear="none">
</div><div class="yiv4820228324gmail_extra">and this is still reflected in the definition: "The <b>highway tag</b> is the main tag used for identifying any kind of
road, street or path. The highway type helps indicate the importance of
the highway within the road network as a whole."<div class="yiv4820228324yqt3836204682" id="yiv4820228324yqtfd50790"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv4820228324yqt3836204682" id="yiv4820228324yqtfd53719"><div class="yiv4820228324gmail_extra">cheers,<br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4820228324gmail_extra">Martin<br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4820228324gmail_extra"><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
