[talk-au] Looking for some Brisbane based mapper support.

[Dean Scott]

As a local to Brisbane, I have fixed the roads to better represent the importance of them in terms of connectivity to other roads around the Brisbane CBD.

Still no response from anybody here, so might throw it out to the Tagging list to see what people world-wide think?

Thanks

As I said then, to me personally, looking at Brisbane CBD:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-27.4701/153.0343, (but the other major cities would be the same), the main grid of the busiest streets should probably be Secondary with smaller streets as either Tertiary or Minor / Unclass?

One comment on the =secondary talk page pretty well agrees:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dsecondary

I'm amazed though that there appears never to have been any discussion on this previously?

Just looking at other major cities, most of them seem to be a mix of primary & tertiary, with only a few secondary, except for Manhattan, NY, which has lots of both primary & secondary with not that many tertiary.

Thanks

Graeme

Ah yes, sorry about that. My interest in highway classification is so
low I don't think your email even registered with me.

Had a read through the wiki on highway classification and it is pretty
useless for deciding what to do in urban areas.

Anyway let's give a week or so and then we can close that issue with a
note that nobody has an opinion on the subject.
