[OSM-talk-be] trunk crossroads and cyclerouting

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Hi,
I think the road is wrong classified.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/8288162
It should be residential and part of the Celestijnenlaan and not trunk_link
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/72912809
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/3877191
Because that is what it is there: a crossing between the Celestijnenlaan 
and the trunk of Koning Boudewijnlaan.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/16771612
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/17773075
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/23832344
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/73579618
As trunk_link it would link two trunks, which has no sense there.
Maybe add also the traffic signals on the two crosspoints
