Example <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.47925&mlon=-0.45146#map=17/39.47925/-0.45146">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.47925&mlon=-0.45146#map=17/39.47925/-0.45146</a> Here the mapper decided to use “tertiary”. The road has mostly through-traffic. I would not make a strict rule for all cases, but just leave this up to the local mappers to decide.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah, I understand. A frontage road is any parallel road for local access, which is normally bypassed by the larger road. Tertiary is perfect for your example. I guess these frontage "alleys" in Japan are really small and cut up (less than 100m or so long, and dead-end to nothing). </div><div><br></div><div>Javbw</div><div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Wiki page at <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Frontage_road">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Frontage_road</a><br></div></div>
