<br>Prabhas, isn't your point more appropriate for highway = footpath. There are all kinds of gallis that are primarily walking paths but motorcycles will occasionally (and during rush hour even frequently) go through them. <br>

One minor suggestion: should we think of something that is very similar to highway=pedestrian, but streets that are accessible to motorcycles?

You seem to suggest two possibilities: lacking a footpath, or a street intended for two-way transport which cannot fit cars going both directions at the same time. I think if we pick the latter, it will be most appropriate, as even bigger residential streets in many areas of the city lack footpaths, but the determinant of two cards being able to pass each other at any spot of the road seems like an important one in separating classes of roads.</div>

If I get no reply, I'll put the motorcycle guidelines in, assuming silence = no dissent :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 9, 2012 at 9:40 PM, <a href="javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'bibekshrestha@gmail.com');" target="_blank">bibekshrestha@gmail.com</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'bibekshrestha@gmail.com');" target="_blank">bibekshrestha@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I have done some draft work on guidelines for marking roads of Nepal.<br>
They can be viewed at <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal:Roads" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal:Roads</a><br>
Most of it is kind of copy paste from the India:Roads page but I've<br>
removed things that do not seem relevant in our context. For instance<br>
Indian roads are classified as NationalExpressways, NationalHighways,<br>
NationalExpressHighways, etc which I don't think we have.<br>
<br>
The classification is not based upon any fixed system, instead it is<br>
built on top of the general guidelines of OSM itself.<br>
<br>
If anyone is willing to verify and further contribute, I would be more<br>
than happy to collaborate on it.<br>
<br>
Warm regards<span><font color="#888888"><br>
