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

[Stéphane Guillou]

Thanks for having a go at it, Scottie. I was watching the conversation 
but didn't feel confident enough in my experience with highway tagging 
hierarchy.

As a local (Brisbane but not CBD), I agree the roads that directly 
connect to the motorway/expressway need to at least be classified as 
secondary, and that Mary and Adelaide could be demoted to tertiary. 
Adelaide st is an interesting case in that it is very important to bus 
traffic but doesn't connect to the road network like others.

Happy with its current state, and it looks quite similar to what 
Queensland Globe shows in its Roads and Railway layer, so there's some 
more validation...


Cheers
