Hi again list,<br><br>Has someone decided how the American road types should be mapped to the OpenStreetMap highway tag values? There are quite a few roads that are incorrectly marked as "secondary" or "primary" by the TIGER importer, and I'd like to make sure that I'm picking the correct highway value for the remapped strings. I have a hard time deciding which value to use based on the UK-centric descriptions on the wiki.<br>
<br>If not, I'd be happy to go out and take some pictures of the various road types I see and put them up on the wiki somewhere so that us American OSM-ers can have something to work off of.<br><font color="#888888"><br>

<br>Lots of conflicting information and stuff scattered all over the Wiki with poor cross-linking. Enjoy!<br><br>Karl<br>
