Why does it exist then in the first place? </blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>it is a very simple 1:1 mapping of a significant road property (always signed, for example in German called "Kraftfahrstraße") to an osm tag. As was agree a lot of time ago (at least in continental europe, or parts of it) that trunk should be used for roads which are physically similar to motorways, but not legally motorways, and with the motorroad category/sign being independent from such properties, a new tag was perceived to be required. As an alternative, a whole set of additional tags would have been needed, besides access also for example a minspeed_rating tag.<br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Martin<br></div></div>
