I gather the convention is to mark any unsurveyed road which one has some information as simply "highway=road", on the basis that you know nothing else about it. But what about when the information comes from high quality imagery (like nearmap in australia)? I've been mapping these as "highway=residential" etc, although of course I don't know the name.<br>
<br>My question arises from CloudMade highlighting "highway=road" ways in their OSM downloads, as though that was the definitive way of indicating an incompletely surveyed road.<br><br>Steve<br>
