Hi,<div><br></div><div>this is the Eurosha volunteers from CAR, currently in refuge in Cameroun.</div><div>So far we have been using this convention (for Bangui and a few cities taken by the rebels). We have chosen this classification based on the importance of the roads (not necessarily the size or surface).</div>
<div><ul><li>Primary - The main axes connecting the biggest cities and a the most important roads in Bangui.</li><li>Secondary - The roads connecting big cities with villages and a bit less important roads in Bangui.</li>
<li>Tertiary - not really used except for a few roads in Bangui</li><li>Residential - used for all the roads where houses are around</li><li>Tracks - the small roads going outside the residential areas</li><li>Path - little roads just for pedestrians, not big enough for a car (however, the Centralafricans consider every road big enough for a car :))</li>
</ul><div>For an example, check the city of Bria (<a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/134">http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/134</a>), feel free to have a look at the whole city, it is not big.</div><div>We are going to add the typology of roads on the wiki page for CAR (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Central_African_Republic">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Central_African_Republic</a>) but before that we will be happy for more suggestions on this.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely</div><div>Eurosha CAR team</div>
