[talk-ph] Your final say on the proposed road classification scheme

[Timeo Gut]

I also think that there should be no classification gaps for major routes.

But it might be good to define some criteria as for what qualifies as 
major. I'd like to suggest to only apply this to ferries that have 
either continuous service (ferry leaves whenever full) or at least 
multiple scheduled trips every day.

Best Regards,
Timmy
