[Tagging] Proposal to Change Road Classification, Road Surface, Road Condition, and Add Number of Lanes

[Dominic Coletti]

I truly find this proposal to be logical and well thought out. However, I
think that there may be better ways to pursue these goals other than
replacing the millions of ways on OSM tagged with the current schema. That
said, I think there is room to add new tags that serves a similar purpose
to what you describe.

Sincerely,
Dominic
