It just got worse in Roeselare, they decided to make the end of the Jules Lagaelaan a no-exit road and to transform a part of the Ardooisesteenweg into a bus-only road. Both ways have the reference "N37", so should be classified as "primary".<br>

</div>Yes, I was hoping that the map I linked to could somehow be used as<br>
the new official classification for that part of the country, even if<br>
I realize that it's just part of a plan of how things "should be in<br>
the end". That means if they were to make a new official<br>
classification it would most probably be based on this.<br>

</div>I agree, but it doesn't work if you want to have good routing options.<br>
If you look at Google Maps for instance (and zoom out to see what<br>
roads are left), it is far closer to the representation of this map<br>
than the one of NGI/IGN. Which is, I guess, based on old<br>
specifications.<br>

</div>Then if they decide to merge the municipalities they will suddenly all<br>
become secondary roads again :D<br>
<br>
I think I understand your point as "an inspiration yes, an official<br>
reference no". Is that correct?<br>
