[talk-au] Few questions about tagging ways in Australia

1. How do you know whether a road is a primary, secondary or tertiary road? 

2. How should cycle paths be tagged, with regards to lcn, rcn, or ncn? I have read http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#LCN

Should these be tagged in relations, or should ways themselves be tagged directly with rcn=yes? 

Viewing on opencyclemap, the south of Canberra has mostly lcn, with the Lake Burly Griffin cyclepath tagged as rcn, and the north of Canberra tagged with rcn. 

3. Regarding the redaction earlier, does it matter if some remaining data is marked as "contributor terms declined"? e.g. the building named Fenwick in http://osm.org/go/uNlFb5phy--

4. Lastly, in either reconstructing huge areas of redaction, or mapping unmapped areas, where are people getting street names from? Street signs?
