yes, we could remove the images altogether or complement them with
different ones from different regions in order to put them into context.
Lets discuss this in tagging.

Btw.: there was also a voting about the highway system (physical vs. grid
hierarchy):
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Highway_key_voting_importance
and this is still reflected in the definition: "The *highway tag* is the
main tag used for identifying any kind of road, street or path. The highway
type helps indicate the importance of the highway within the road network
as a whole."

cheers,
Martin
