Why use primary for every road to each municipality regardless of its population size (just because they’re a branch or an alternate to a trunk)? Shouldn’t we use trunks only on the most important highway links between the largest cities beside the expressways? Many of our provinces lack secondaries in the rural area but do have lots of tertiaries surrounded by trunk and primary roads (and a total lack of secondary roads). Lots of Philippines mappers (including me) ignore that bad scheme, which just came to effect without discussion or consultation. It’s also time for us to take community population sizes as well as designations in account when classifying roads.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also, guidelines about road names are to be affected as well (following latest discussion). This includes changes in the existing guideline to prefer full names as used in addresses (since names posted in street signs can be inconsistent). One open question is on how to name many of the major rural roads without posted names (national roads aside, whose names, unless the locally verifiable posted name is different, can be found from the DPWH road database) until their actual names are verified. For me, it’s in the form “<most important community>-<less important community> Road”, though I also experimented with adding noname=yes instead of adding placeholder names using the format mentioned above.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Any comments/suggestion/feedback on this are welcome here or on the article’s talk page.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div>
