[HOT] New Job for Tracing in the Congo

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Has anyone get any consensus on how to tag the national and provincial
roads in RDC?

There is a wiki [1] with very nice info about the roads, with their
references and routes, but it doesn't say how to tag each of them:
trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary and unclassified.

Any clue?

Cheers,

Rafael Ávila Coya (edvac).
