[OSM-np] [MapKathmandu] Re: Suspicious edits in some areas in Kathmandu

[amrit karmacharya]

yes, i have been tagging highway=motorway, for those roads which have 2
lanes and carry much traffic. i have checked these roads in google
satellite images too. as per the common tags used, i thought this was the
best tag to use. if someone feels otherwise, we should have a discussion on
it. i shall revert them back for now.

and manoj, as initial part of MapKathmandu project, i have traced many
roads referencing bing and google satellite image. i have also used the gps
traces for accurate positions. I have tried to trace many roads in
baluwatar area as we are doing a mapping party there on  13 oct saturday.
these roads have been traced through satellite imagery only, so i agree
that they are incorrect, and we plan to check and correct it during the
mapping party. i would be very thankful if you could correct them *ASAP *as
it would help the mapping event. I would also like to invite you to this
event. the venue is Biruwa Ventures. we welcome every assistence.
