[Talk-is] Highway classification question

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hi everyone,

We have been reviewing the Primary-Motorway classified roads for consistency and adherence to the Icelandic guidelines. Our goal is to make minor classification changes to bring all roads in compliance with Icelandic policy and we had a few questions.

Some roads don't seem to match the Icelandic Map Features wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Is:Map_Features>. If you agree, we were thinking of changing them to match the wiki page. For example:

Stofnvegur Routes

Based on the Icelandic Map Features wiki, the highway noted below should be 'highway=primary' as these routes are part of the Stofnvegur network
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32197431 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32197431> (highway 355)

Tengivegur Routes

Based on the Icelandic Map Features wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Is:Map_Features>, the highways noted below should be 'highway=secondary' as these routes are part of the Tengivegur network.

Additionally, these highways already have secondary highways connected to the highway we noted so we want to review some adjacent secondaries if the below highways are revised to ensure the classification is not overused.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71208833 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71208833> (highway 59)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/283141513 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/283141513> (highway 55)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30283752 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30283752> (highway 52)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/13248433 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/13248433> (highway 48)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4998612 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4998612> (highway 26)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/40813630 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/40813630> (highway 955)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/5376321 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/5376321> (highway 752)

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Andrew
