    Hello Eugene,<br>
    <br>
    As mentioned in a <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2021-April/006734.html">previous
      mail</a>, I've already added the designation values that you
    previously proposed to the documentation on the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Philippines/Mapping_conventions/Roads/Classification">road
      classification page</a>. <br>
    <br>
    These are:<br>
    national_primary_road<br>
    national_secondary_road<br>
    national_tertiary_road<br>
    provincial_road<br>
    municipal_road (also serves for city roads so that we don't need to
    retag when towns become cities)<br>
    barangay_road<br>
    <br>
    Adding expressway  seems to be a no-brainer. I also like the
    suggestion of a separate designation for city roads as I think the
    reduced potential for confusion outweighs the effort needed for
    retagging when municipalities  become cities. <br>
    <br>
    As for the specific values, I find the previous variant that
    includes the road suffix much better because it's a clear
    distinction from designation for administrative entities (especially
    for barangay roads where the value without suffix would be
    identical).<br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>
    Timmy<br>

        <div>I forgot to add, I think we should also include tagging the
          official legal classifications of roads using the
          "designation" key: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation</a></div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I think we can have the following values: "expressway",
          "national", "provincial", "city", "municipal", and "barangay".
          We might also need to break down the "national" value into
          "national_primary", "national_secondary", and
          "national_tertiary" following the DPWH classes.<br>

              <div dir="auto">It's been a month since the last
                discussion on road classifications, that time regarding
                special considerations for major roads within certain

                bypass/diversion roads under construction. Now, I'll be

                  standard)</div>
                <div dir="auto">- Trunk = highways between large cities;
                  HSH-2 expressways (none existing yet). In large urban
                  areas composed of many large cities like Manila or
                  Cebu, should be applied sparingly and limited to
                  primary through routes across the area that are not
                  expressways and connect with longer trunk routes.
                  Trunk routes should generally be moved to bypasses
                  where they exist.</div>
                <div dir="auto">- Primary = highways between small
                  cities, large municipalities and provincial capitals
                  that are neither cities or large municipalities; major
                  arterials in urban context.</div>
                <div dir="auto">- Secondary = highways between
                  medium-sized municipalities; minor arterials in urban
                  context.</div>
                <div dir="auto">- Tertiary = roads between small
                  municipalities and most barangays; collector roads in
                  urban context. </div>
                <div dir="auto">- Unclassified = other local roads that
                  are not residential in nature; other smaller roads
