[HOT] Central African Republic roadway tagging question

[Norman Rathmann]

HI

residential = in cities where houses stands, in villages track or path - 
residential only bigger street where cars are going

track = the small, good visible lines on the arial image outside of 
villages

path = really small, less visible lines outside villages

unclassified = street (even small) between villages

road - never (who else shall clasiffy this? I can do it while i map this 
and if in future sombody knows it better, he can do it)
