I don't understand this page. Not that I had objections with what I read
there, but it is a duplication of what is already set. Why "Africa"? We
should have (and do have) a global system to tag and classify roads,
bridge=yes and layer=1 are nothing special to Africa, neither is a
hierarchical road system. My suggestion is to delete the page or link to
the specific pages in to keep the wiki maintainable. Duplicating the same
information over and over again has no sense and raises the risk for
inconsistencies.

cheers,
Martin
