<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I seem to have stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest
by raising this issue - for which I apologise. The key issue <SPAN
class=937315613-01012009>- I have now learnt from this mailing list -
</SPAN>seems to be the difference in the UK between the "primary route network"
(green signs, conventionally tagged in OSM as highway=trunk) and "primary
routes" (all A roads - green or white signs; green ones tagged highway=trunk,
white ones tagged highway=primary). I respect the established convention and
will not make any further changes (I assume all A roads in the UK have been done
by now?). AFAIK I have corrected back to the established convention the very few
changes that I have made. On the assumption (:>) that I am not entirely
unintelligent, I do still find the instruction on the main map features page of
the osm wiki very confusing - that is what started this thread for me. Perhaps
you, or someone else long-established in the world of OSM, could consider
editing the wiki to make it clearer?</FONT></DIV>
