yes, i have been tagging highway=motorway, for those roads which have 2 lanes and carry much traffic. i have checked these roads in google satellite images too. as per the common tags used, i thought this was the best tag to use. if someone feels otherwise, we should have a discussion on it. i shall revert them back for now.<div>
<br></div><div>and manoj, as initial part of MapKathmandu project, i have traced many roads referencing bing and google satellite image. i have also used the gps traces for accurate positions. I have tried to trace many roads in baluwatar area as we are doing a mapping party there on 13 oct saturday. these roads have been traced through satellite imagery only, so i agree that they are incorrect, and we plan to check and correct it during the mapping party. i would be very thankful if you could correct them <b>ASAP </b>as it would help the mapping event. I would also like to invite you to this event. the venue is Biruwa Ventures. we welcome every assistence.<br>

Would be great if amrit fixed it since he knows these roads better. <div><br></div><div>we do not use highway=motorway. Highway=trunk is the best we can go. Use of highway=tertiary is being considered/discussed. </div><div>

I've fixed some of them but he had tagged really a lot of roads with highway=motorway and, so before reverting more back, I wanted to ask, what sort of roads are to be tagged that way? I mean with highway=motorway? That isn't even included in the tags for roads of Nepal in the wiki (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads</a>)<div>

> I am mapping Baluwatar and Maharajgunj area from last few months and i am quite familiar with these areas. From last few days i am happy to see other few friends mapping on these area as well. Many roads they mapped were wrong and some road are not there in field. I corrected those. but today i find same problem on other areas of Kathmandu. please see light blue roads (motor roads) in image on the attached file. At the mean time, i also noticed that this person is randomly mapping in different areas. How do we check this?<br>
