Hi all,<br>I did some major work on the wiki about this.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines</a><br><br>When i was chatting with the mapper in Empress, Alberta he noticed that i changed the tag of the outside rim of the residential area of the town. Because these are often dirt roads, with out pavement & markings it's hard to tell what the road class should be.<br>
And also, in this area it's still rather empty (as Saskatchewan Roads haven't been imported yet), as we know the road class changes when you get to a new province.<br><br>Anyway, i took some ideas that were on the talk page of it, as well as the ideas from the past years discussions about this tagging & tried to give some examples & make some recommendations. The page still needs some work, and i think that a chart (like the one over on the talk page)<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Highway_Tagging_In_Canada">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Highway_Tagging_In_Canada</a> should be modified & used.<br>
<br>It would be great to make a nice clear 1 page summery of exactly what the situation is, so it can be a good point of reference for new mappers.<br><br>What i didn't include on the page is a map-key of what how the Toporama map compares & lists the roads as, since it is encouraged that people use the WMS layer while mapping.<br>
