<p>BTW, in the Italian mailing list there is currently a thread
discussing if and how we should tag highways according to what
are the official categories in the Italian Traffic Code (<i>Codice
della Strada</i>) are.</p>
<p>There the concern is most about how to tag an official
classification (<i>something that is implicit in the tag value
in UK, if I'm not mistaken</i>) instead of a "descriptive
classification".</p>

Is ther a UK page that has these official classifications? They
maybe of use to fit others classifications to.<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p>But other concerns are emerging too (<i>at least in my head!</i>),
like the administrative responsibility under which a given road
falls (<i>state, region, province, municipality, private</i>) </p>

Use operator=* ???<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p>and ad-hoc values as input for the router (<i>s</i><i>peed
limits, traffic density, etc.</i></p>

<br>
Rather than the density.. traffic speed could be more usefull?
Example traffic_speed=20 @ 6:00-19:00 Mon-Fri , traffic_speed=15 @
9:00-17:00 Sat-Sun (yes, busier on the weekends!)<i>.<br>
</i>If no traffic_speed then routers use the max_speed..<i> <br>
<br>
</i>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p><i> *OR* a comprehensive "preference"value </i>).</p>
<p>Keep on going!</p>

I think we should decorrelate the attributes of a road : its
administrative class, its importance in the road network (at
least 5 levels), its physical characteristics (motorway-like,
two large lanes, link=yes ...), possibly its traffic
characteristics. <br>
<br>
So we can tag a secondary motorway or a primary road through a
residential area or an official motorway with pedestrians
actually walking on it. <br>
<br>
So that we’ll unify osm road classification through the world
(remember the highway=trunk issue ;-)) <br>

It's a noble aim, but unfortunately the first thing that springs
to mind is <a class="gmail-m_-3737900818763763132moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://xkcd.com/927/" target="_blank">https://xkcd.com/927/</a>

<br>
However, some of the stuff on

I definitely agree with, and in some cases actually do do myself
- like trying to capture the physical characteristics wherever
relevant. <br>
