[OSM-talk-be] Routing in Liège

[Marc Gemis]

Hallo,

I was contacted by a mapper from Germany with whom I worked on turn:lanes.
He has to following question, can someone with local knowledge inform
us about the road classifications ? I have the impression a lot of
streets are indeed residential. Feel free to reply in French, I'll
translate it to English for him.

Now I want ask you about another problem.

I checked Liege to find out the mapping of roads there:

My guess is, that unclassified is used wrong there and that is the
reason for strange routings. My opinion is that unclassified as the
lowest kind of connecting roads do not end at city borders and have or
need common connection to same or higher class inside of towns or
villages. For me routers should avoid residentials and lower as much
as possible. Do you have any idea to check and correct this in Liege
to make routing better?

If there are any questions, please ask.
