In Alaska and Thailand, where I do the bulk of my mapping, an unclassified highway is just that, it is a highway having no classification. I consider it higher in the hierarchy than a residential and lower than a tertiary, although some opinions may differ. Whether paved or unpaved makes no difference. As long as it connects towns or hamlets in a reasonable manner, then it is an unclassified highway.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 4, 2019 at 10:49 AM Peter Elderson <<a href="mailto:pelderson@gmail.com" target="_blank">pelderson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">My research tells me ‘unclassified’ means classified as ‘unclassified‘, which is a class of road in the public road system. Other roads cannot be classified as ‘unclassified’, but should get another classification. Roads without classification need a fixme, not a classification as ‘unclassified’.<br>
