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

Wed Oct 10 10:39:44 BST 2012

There are no tertiary because initially we decided we will avoid it.
So we'd try to cover the streets inside the city with primary, secondary
for major streets, residential for normal streets.
Although, I have seen some discussions earlier regarding tertiary streets,
for example the ones that run along rivers (bagmati, ...) which cannot be
classified as primary / secondary nor residential.
That could be marked as tertiary.

I welcome any suggestions or discussions backed my examples on this.

Cheers
