Probably the simplest distinction is that various programs
treat<br>
"unclassified" as a fast country road (eg, 100+kph), and
"residential"<br>
as a quiet residential street (eg, 50-60kph). Take your pick.<br>

Could you provide some examples of such "various programs"
because this distinction is new for me. <br>
So it means that a slow speed road serving industrial or
retail areas are for you "residential roads" ? My definition
of residential road is following what says the wiki "for roads
accessing or around residential areas", indepently of the
speed limits.<br>

that's the correct approach. explicit, accurate maxspeed values are
best.<br>
<br>
we as mappers have no control over how the different routing systems<br>
select default speeds. we should not be making assumptions about
that.<br>
