[Talk-in] tagging roads in India

[Shajeer Mohammed]

One pitfall we would have is looking at the map; one highway would contain 
all three colors!. Also I would suggest that we use this differentiation 
only for national highways, and stick to primary and secondary road type for 
all roads that are with in the city. For example AnnaSalai in Chennai or MG 
Road in Bangalore even though are four lane, should be termed as probably 
secondary.
