Hi,<div><br></div><div>Maybe could help if we classified highways tags by scenario:<div><br></div><div>- Urban (vehicules): residencial, service, living_street</div><div>- Urban (people): path (natural), footway (pedestrian)</div>
<div>- Rural (vehicules): track(tracktype)</div><div>- Rural (people): path</div><div>- interconecting highways between towns: unclassified, terciary</div><div><br></div><div>It seems road tag is temporarily in the mean while we get knowledge about what type of highway is.</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Droad">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Droad</a></div><div><br></div><div>If possible some pictures on ground could be useful to discussion.</div>

Hi again,<br>
<br>
I can't access net to have links/quotes to back up my "claim" but unless I have completely misunderstood things highway=road is meant for situations where the mapper -- most typically tracing area s/he doesn't know, or simply not knowhing how to categorize something -- implies an unresolved rd class with the tag.<br>
<br>
I think it's a pretty common misunderstanding that =road would be a "generic road", though.<br>
<br>
Wrong/right/none-of-the-above?<br>
