<br>
I'm working with some roads in Central area in Hong Kong. Des Voeux Road <br>
Central is considered one of the most important roads in the area which I <br>
tagged it as highway=secondary, however another editor has repeatedly changed <br>
it to highway=service on the fact that that road is closed to motor vehicles <br>
except buses. An edit war has appeared.<br>
<br>
Here is the relevant changesets and ways:<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/94428780#map=17/22.28199/114.15872" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/94428780#map=17/22.28199/114.15872</a><br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/242113655#map=17/22.28168/114.15911" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/242113655#map=17/22.28168/114.15911</a><br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/95558773" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/95558773</a><br>
<br>
According to the wiki description of highway=secondary, such road "is not part <br>
of a major route, but nevertheless forming a link in the national route <br>
network." Des Voeux Road Central (between Queensway and Pottinger Street) is <br>
such a highway for buses only. Tens of bus routes are using this road to serve <br>
passengers between Wan Chai to Central, while other motor vehicles must use <br>
the other highways in the region (also tagged as highway=secondary).<br>
<br>
However, a highway=service is "generally for access", and also "for access for <br>
parking, driveways and alleys". Des Voeux Road Central is definitely not the <br>
case here. It is instead a major road in the road network usable by buses.<br>
<br>
What should I do here now?<br>
