[OSM-talk-be] wiki highway conventions

[Kevin Grossard]

The wiki about the highway conventions distinguishes primairy, secondary and tertiairy roads using the N-numbers (although there are some question marks). Using the current conventions means using the old classification when the N-numbers were given. Various N-ways got reconstructed, the traffic got redirected by other roads, some roads aren't suitable anymore for the current traffic.
 
The spatial structure plan for Flanders (ruimtelijk structuurplan Vlaanderen) has a list with the primairy roads [pages 368-377 http://www2.vlaanderen.be/ruimtelijk/docs/rsv2011/RSV2011.pdf]. I suggest to adjust the wiki so there will be an uniform highway classification where primairy roads are the roads selected in the structure plan. The other N-roads can be describes as secondary roads. Tertiary roads can be described as other important local roads (nl: steenwegen die geen secundaire weg zijn). Minor or residential roads can be understand as local roads (nl: lokale wegen). What do you think?
 
I suppose that there are also conventions for the Walloon area.
